ENERGY RELATED ACTIVITIES

In recent years there has been considerable interest in the delimitation of an integrated energy

sector. As part of this effort the Statistical Office of the United Nations Secretariat, the Statistical Office

of the European Communities (SOEC), the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Organisation for

Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) secretariat and the Economic Commission for Europe

(ECE) secretariat have collaborated in the development of a classification that aimed at harmonizing the

publication of statistics of energy production. In delineating the energy annex for ISIC, Rev.3,

harmonization with the classification of energy producing activities which is part of this classification of

energy production was the primary concern. Therefore, the annex for the energy industry includes only

mining, manufacturing and distribution of energy or energy related products. Other activities in specific

areas of distributive trades or transport, even if related to the energy sector, are not considered energy

producing activities and therefore have not been included in the annex.

Alcohol from vegetable materials, e.g. ethanol from sugar cane, and other energy carriers such

as fuelwood, charcoal or other natural substances and known derivatives of vegetation play an important

role as fuels in some countries. Their production may be considered energy sector activities.
