Methodological explanations

Energy from renewable sources is the energy derived from natural, repetitive environmental processes, obtained from renewable non-fossil energy sources (energy: water, wind, solar heat, geothermal heat, waves, sea currents and tides and energy obtained from biomass, biogas, biofuels).

Gross energy consumption is a final consumption of energy carriers by the consumers (industry, transport sector, service sector, households, agriculture, forestry and fishery sector) including electricity and heat consumption by industry for electricity and heat generation as well as transformation and distribution looses.
