Explanations:

(A) Regarding heat from CHP, there is a break in the series between 2005 and 2010. This is related to the practice of Eurostat to report the fuel consumption of on site CHP under the final demand categories of the individual fuels, even if the fuel is in reality used in industrial CHP. In order to keep comparability with Eurostat statistics, the fuel consumption data for the statistical years are presented in a Eurostat compatible format. For the projection period from 2010 onwards the modeling allocates the fuel consumption for new CHP plants to the CHP part of the power generation sector while the corresponding heat and steam is shown under industrial energy demand. Comparisons concerning steam in industry should therefore start only from 2010 onwards. Except for the knock-on effect on total steam, this break in the heat series does not affect other comparisons in PRIMES that can start from 2005 or earlier years.

(B) PRIMES does not report separately on industrial waste. In order to ensure a consistent breakdown of supply and demand quanties, industrial waste is shown as part of total waste and of renewables. Given that only biodegradable waste counts towards the renewables targets, the indicators on the share of RES in gross final energy demand have been adjusted to exclude industrial waste. RES indicators have been calculated on the basis of the methodology developed by EUROSTAT, i.e. taking into account normalised hydro and wind production, increased weight for renewable electricity in road transport and aviation cap for gross final energy demand.

Disclaimer: Energy and transport statistics reported in this publication and used for the modelling are taken mainly from EUROSTAT and from the publication “EU Energy and Transport in Figures” of the Directorate General for Energy and Transport. Energy and transport statistical concepts have developed differently in the past according to their individual purposes. Energy demand in transport reflects usually sales of fuels at the point of refuelling, which can differ from the region of consumption. This is particularly relevant for airplanes and trucks. Transport statistics deal with the transport activity within a country but may not always fully include transit shipments. These differences should be borne in mind when comparing energy and transport figures. This applies in particular to transport activity ratios, such as energy efficiency in freight transport, which is measured in tonnes of oil equivalent per million tonne-km.
