National energy accounts

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6179617
The National Energy Accounts (NEA) trace the flow of energy products throughout the economy. Annual time series data are developed for 35 energy products in the following detail for the period 1958-1981: production by industry sector; inventory level and change; imports; exports; inputs to conversion processes and conversion losses; losses in storage and distribution; and consumption in 122 intermediate sectors and 9 final demand sectors by 13 functional uses. The complete taxonomies are presented in Appendix A. The industry sectoring plan is defined in terms of the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification codes and is compatible with both the BEA 1972 Input-Output industry classification and the BIE Productivity Research Sectoring Plan. Each data record includes quantity, value in current and constant 1972 dollars, and Btu content. Consumption values are given in both purchaser or delivered value and the estimated producer value (the difference representing transportation and trade margins and excise taxes). The data are contained in three files: (1) the Supply File includes production, total inventory level, total inventory change, and imports; (2) the Use File contains the consumption data in consuming sector detail and by functional use, including balancing entries, conversion losses, and exports; and (3) the Inventory File contains inventory data disaggregated by sector. This report covers an update of the National Energy Accounts to include the period 1978-81. The data for the earlier years 1958-77 have been significantly revised to be comparable with the energy product, functional use, and sector detail developed for the update years.
