| Synopsis: |
This issue brings up to date some of the figures given in the Department of Energy Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics 1992. The first section covers general energy statistics and includes tables showing each fuel in original units of measurement, in oil equivalent, in coal equivalent and in terms of the thermal content of fuels. Other tables show the estimated value of purchases of fuels, energy consumption by final users and an analysis of energy consumption by main industrial groups. In general the statistics have the same coverage as those in other sections and where this is so the explanatory notes in these sections are applicable. The other sections deal separately with individual fuels, prices and values of fuels and foreign trade in fuels. Fuel production and consumption statistics are derived mainly from the records of fuel producers and suppliers. The Digest includes annexes on: Long term trends in energy; Renewable sources of energy; Combined heat and power; and Energy and the environment. |
