1  Conversion of energy, i.e. energy used in production of other energy commodities, is not included, in order to avoid double counting. For district heating, however, the distribution between renewable and not renewable is based on the energy commodities used in the production.
2  For imported electricity, information about production technology is lacking. For lack of data, we have assumed that 50 per cent of the imports from Sweden for the whole period are renewable energy and the rest not renewable.
3  The table is based on the energy account, and the distribution between renewable and not renewable is not calcutated according to the EU renewable energy direktive.
4  Flaring not included.
