It provides a complete representation (consistent with the system of national economic accounts) of energy flowing from environment to economy, within the economy and from economy to environment.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the previous edition, data for the years 2017 and 2018 have been updated and 2019 energy flows have been added.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019 the energy flowing into the national economy amounted to 8.4 million terajoules (0.6% less than in 2018), of which 16.0% is made up of energy withdrawals from the Italian natural environment (1.4% less than the previous year) and 84.0% from imports of energy products (0.4% less than in 2018). On the other hand, the energy flowing out the national economic system is 8.1 million terajoules (1.0% less than in 2018) of which 17.5% is made up of exports of energy products (4.9% less than in 2018) and 82.5% from returns to the natural environment in the form of degraded and no longer usable energy (-0.2%). The difference between the flows of energy into and out of the national economy represents the net accumulation of energy in the economic system.<\/p>\n<p>The total energy consumption of the resident units (Net domestic energy use &#8211; NDEU) in 2019 was 7.0 million terajoules (0.6% less than in 2018):<\/p>\n<ul class=\"lista\">\n<li>31.2% is attributable to households (for own account transport, heating and cooling, hot water and kitchen use, lighting and household appliances) and the remaining part to production activities;<\/li>\n<li>4.2% derives from non-energy uses (Net domestic energy use for non-energy purposes &#8211; NDEU_non energy); it is energy used to produce non-energy products (e.g plastic, bitumen) or to lubricate gears;<\/li>\n<li>16.4% comes from renewable energy sources, but only 12.6% can be considered &#8220;modern&#8221; renewable consumption (considering only consumption for energy purposes &#8211; NDEU_energy &#8211; these percentages rise to 17.1% and 13.2% respectively);<\/li>\n<li>85.2% depends on combustion processes (air emission-relevant use of energy flows).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pefa data are &#8211; by construction &#8211; comparable with economic data of National Accounts, resulting particularly suitable to using in integrated environmental and economic analysis. In 2019, the &#8220;Energy intensity of GDP&#8221; indicator (calculated as ratio between NDEU_energy and GDP) decreased by 0.6% compared to 2018, reaching 3.9 terajoules per million euro of GDP (in chain linked values with reference year 2015).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>For information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Giusy Vetrella<br \/>\nPh. +39 06 4673 3236<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:vetrella@istat.it\">vetrella@istat.it<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Silvia Zannoni<br \/>\nPh. +39. 06 4673 3109<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:zannoni@istat.it\">zannoni@istat.it<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 21st 2022, Istat releases the time series 2008-2019 on Physical Energy Flow Accounts (Pefa) of Italian economy, expressed in terajoule (tj), on I.Stat [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4093],"tags":[3544,3192,3857,3219,3886,3917,3916,3238,3112,3858,3859,3915,3884,3888,3397],"regione":[],"tema":[4058,4065],"class_list":["post-26498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-accounting","tag-accounts","tag-air-emissions","tag-energy","tag-energy-accounts","tag-energy-flows","tag-energy-inputs","tag-energy-sources","tag-environment-2","tag-environmental-pressures","tag-material-flows","tag-namea","tag-pefa","tag-physical-flows-en","tag-sustainable-development-2","tema-environment-and-energy","tema-national-accounts"],"meta_fields":{"data_pubblicazione":"20220121","descrizioneperiodo":"Years 2008-2019","titolobreve":"Physical energy flows (Pefa) - Years 2008-2019","news":"Updated to 2019 the time series of Physical energy flows Accounts (Pefa)","news_rss":"Istat releases the time series 2008-2019 on Physical Energy Flow Accounts (Pefa) of Italian economy, expressed in terajoule (tj), on I.Stat data warehouse, in \"National Accounts\" theme, \"Environmental Accounts\" sub-theme, \"Physical Energy Flow Accounts (PEFA)\" section.","sottotitolo":""},"acf":[],"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[],"tags-info":[{"id":3544,"label":"accounting","slug":"accounting"},{"id":3192,"label":"accounts","slug":"accounts"},{"id":3857,"label":"air emissions","slug":"air-emissions"},{"id":3219,"label":"energy","slug":"energy"},{"id":3886,"label":"energy accounts","slug":"energy-accounts"},{"id":3917,"label":"energy flows","slug":"energy-flows"},{"id":3916,"label":"energy inputs","slug":"energy-inputs"},{"id":3238,"label":"energy sources","slug":"energy-sources"},{"id":3112,"label":"environment","slug":"environment-2"},{"id":3858,"label":"environmental pressures","slug":"environmental-pressures"},{"id":3859,"label":"material flows","slug":"material-flows"},{"id":3915,"label":"NAMEA","slug":"namea"},{"id":3884,"label":"pefa","slug":"pefa"},{"id":3888,"label":"physical flows","slug":"physical-flows-en"},{"id":3397,"label":"sustainable development","slug":"sustainable-development-2"}],"categories-info":[{"id":4093,"label":"News","slug":"news"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26498\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26498"},{"taxonomy":"regione","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/regione?post=26498"},{"taxonomy":"tema","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tema?post=26498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
