Data collection at the IEA: the road to global outreach
• IEA collects data from 150 countries, on a voluntary basis for all non-OECD countries

Key activities with international
partners
InterEnerStat: first workshop on energy efficiency statistics
• http://www.iea.org/workshops/interenerstat-meeting-2016.html
• Around 40 participants from organizations and countries

InterEnerStat energy efficiency data discussion
• Goal: To define the international energy statistics community contribution to
strengthening energy efficiency monitoring globally
• Discussion: what activities are ongoing and how to better cooperate among
organizations
• Areas for future work:
- Joint work on training
- Expansion of the database on practices for data collection
- Share experiences on how to address technical issues/methods;
- to improve links across national institutions;
- to design a cross-sectoral end-use data collection

InterEnerStat 2016: IRES
• Agreed sensible to start the process of assessing the need to review IRES, noting there had been
developments in the energy world that might mean a scope for change or a need to update
ESCM or provide supporting documents (for example an annex to IRES).
• Any review of IRES would need to go through the full process again to be signed off by the
UNSC.
• Organisations agreed to discuss with the members and then by the end of June produce a
note on what changes they thought were needed to IRES, including what the benefit was.
• These would be sent to UNSD and the IEA (as InterEnerStat secretariat). This information would
be discussed at an InterEnerStat in late 2017, when a decision on a formal update or other action
would be taken.
• Members were encouraged not to raise points that had previously been discussed and agreed
on, unless the situation had changed.
• Meeting also noted the enhanced cooperation between organisations, especially on training

G20 end-use data and energy efficiency metrics initiative
• June 2016: G20 agreed in Beijing to launch a new work stream on
Energy End-Use Data and Energy Efficiency Metrics within the
Energy Efficiency Leading Programme
• Work to be led by France (ADEME) and the IEA, with participation from as many
G20 members as possible on a voluntary basis.
• First workshop held in Paris, December 2016

• Draft Terms Of Reference circulated in March 2017

G20 initiative: Objective and work areas
• To provide a forum for participating countries to share experience in collecting/using energy efficiency
data for policy making
• Three main areas identified:
- Technical
- Sharing information on various topics such as data collection;
- mobilization of partners, and links between modelling and data gathering.
- Communication
- Strengthening the ability to explain data and indicators to policy makers, business and the public to maximize their impact.
- Wider outreach
- Discussing how to ensure that efficiency goes hand in hand with greater energy access in developing economies.
• Key principles:
•
•
•
Focus on enhancing and complementing any ongoing activity in the area, to avoid any duplication with existing
work, but to maximize information sharing from such work.
Participation on a voluntary basis, but aiming for the largest number of participants possible. Participation of non-G20
countries would be encouraged if it brings value to the initiative.
The delivery of any of the specific work areas will depend on G20 countries involvement and funding availability.

Ongoing and future activities
• Regular ongoing cooperation with Eurostat, APEC, UNSD, etc… regarding e.g.
questionnaires updating and energy statistics trainings
• Joint IEA/IPCC workshop
- Planned end of this year (13/12/17)
- Energy related data for GHG emissions
- Special focus on NCV, Petrochemical and Iron and Steel sectors

Update in data collection
Energy Statistics Development Group 2017
• Meet yearly
• Work on updates of the data collection in order to:
- meet the needs of statistician
- Keep accurate and relevant statistics
• Topic covered this year:
- Update of the 5 fuel questionnaires (with pilots and trials)
- Digitalization
- Energy efficiency
- Prices
- Report cards

Petrochemical working group
• Working group of countries with large petrochemical industry, industry and
statistics experts to:
- understand challenges faced by countries
- gather knowledge about current reporting practices
- propose practical reporting solutions
• Action items:
- Sharing documents with countries’ information on the national petrochemical sector
- Produce a spreadsheet to allow countries to compare their current methodologies for
petrochemical reporting: input/output, energy/non-energy
- Explain the impact of energy/non-energy reporting on CO2 estimates
- Follow-up with IEA/ETP on their estimates to provide more information to countries to
investigate differences between estimates and reported data
- Look into producing more detailed guidance on petrochemical reporting

Test report cards implemented and shared with data providers
To raise the profile of data submissions:
 Energy efficiency
 Energy prices and taxes
•
Energy RD&D
Ultimately, aiming to help statisticians in their data work

Training and capacity building
Energy Statistics Course: Purpose and Program
• Run bi-annually at the IEA headquarters
• Dedicated to:
 Our country contacts
 Statisticians in central government and government agencies
• Aims at offering IEA methodology and tools for collecting and organising
national-level energy data by fuels and to help developing comprehensive
national energy balances through a different range of topics.
• Next session: 9th -13th October 2017 – Registration to open on 1st June
