Note: The sum of primary energy sources
(expressed in joules) used to generate
intermediate energy will, depending on the
primary source used, significantly exceed the
amount of intermediate energy purchased (in
joules) due to grid and efficiency losses when
converting and transporting energy.

EO
Suppliers of energy and related services are the most
important informational source for this Indicator. Other
information can be obtained from invoices, measured (or
calculated) heat/fuel accounting, estimations, defaults,
etc. Besides default data drawn from the International
Energy Agency (IEA), information can be obtained from
the annual reports submitted by governments to the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCC). These reports will detail country
energy use and associated emissions for country specific
defaults, etc.
