Azerbaijan's Energy Statistics Transformation Journey

1. Oslo group on energy statistics Helsinki, Finland, 23-26 October 2012 Azerbaijan’sexperience in making Energy balance RaufGurbanov, Head of the unit on Energy statistics of the State Statistical Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan raufg@azstat.org

2. Brief history • First decisions for improvement of energy statistics (2006-2007) • National methodology and recommendations on energy statistics (2007-2012); • National recommendations on energy statistics indicators (2007, 2009, 2010); • Improvement of questionnaires according to energy balance (Eurostat, IRES) (2007-2012); • Creating of model of energy balance (on the base of Eurostat from 2007 up to 2010), (since 2011 IRES); • Agreement structure of balance with all relation government organizations, IEA and adaptation (2007-2008); • Compilation energy balance (2008); • Publication new energy balance (2008);

3. Step by step for implementation new structure Submitted to Cabinet Ministries (December, 2007) Agreement structure of balance with all relation government organization (December, 2007) Reference from IEA, seminars, discussion, creating of working group (2007-2008) Creating of model of energy balance on the base of Eurostat ( February, 2007) Learning of structure of balance of IEA and Eurostat (2006-2007)

4. Text 1 for chapter 5 ... Previous structure of Energy Balance Bad practice – wrong way Some countries, especially former soviet union countries, also Republic of Azerbaijan fuel-energy balance has been compiled once in every 5 years. Since 1930, commodity balances of main energy products (oil, gas, electricity) and once in every 5 years from 1950 to 1990 fuel-energy balance were published. After gaining of the independence by the Republic of Azerbaijan there was published fuel-energy balance based on old structure from 1991 to 2007. Old structure of the energy balance is given below: 12 rows

6. Text 1 for chapter 5 (cont’d) Continuation of the text 1. Bad practice – wrong way The shortages of the previous energy balance are following: - there is a no analog of this balance in the international sphere, as well as lack of transformation sector, re-accounting of data, incorrect accounting of the consumption of energy products between sectors, non-application of consumption principle on several consumption groups, incomplete coverage of energy products, lack of commodity balance conversion factors (TOE) applied in international practice, and above all non-calculation of the “statistical difference” indicator characterizing energy balance data quality. On other hand - previous balance was only data flows, but not energy flows.

7. Energy balance: Purposes • Enhance the relevance of energy statistics by providing comprehensive and reconciled data on the energy situation on a national territory basis; • Provide comprehensive information on the energy supply and demand on the national territory in order to understand the energy security situation, the effective functioning of energy markets and other relevant policy goals, as well as to formulate energy policies; • Serve as a quality tool to ensure completeness, consistency and comparability of basic statistics; • Ensure comparability between different reference periods and between different countries; • Provide data for estimation of CO2 emissions with respect to national territory; • Provide the basis for indicators of the energy’s role in the country’s economy; • Calculate efficiencies of transformation processes occurring in the country (e.g., refining, electricity production by combustion of fuels, etc.); • Calculate the relative shares of the supply/consumption of various products (including renewable versus non-renewable) of the country’s total supply/consumption; • Provide an input for modeling and forecasting.

8. Text 2 for chapter 5 Best practice Since 2008 - the energy balance based on international standards (within the framework of recommendations of IEA and Eurostat). The energy balance published in 2011 was compiled on the basis of IRES requirements prepared by Oslo Group and adopted in 42nd session of the UN Statistical Commission. The SSC has adopted the format of the energy balances contained in IRES for the national energy balances and presents information on 23 types of products and 5 product groups. The availability of detailed energy balances has fostered transparency; it has allowed for the assessment and monitoring of the energy sector and it has provided information on the structure of the consumption of energy products. It has overall provided policy makers with necessary statistical information for decisions making and policy planning. SSC compiles energy balances annually and publishes them in the annual publication “Energy balance of Azerbaijan” available online at www.azstat.org.

10. Text 3 for chapter 5Data sources and questionaries Data on production of energy products collected with monthly periodicity from large enterprises; quarterly from small enterprises; and annually from natural entities. Data on consumption of energy products collected with monthly from large enterprises, annually from small enterprises.with monthly periodicity from households (sample survey) Data on the sale of fuel are collected from legal and natural entities with monthly periodicity. Data on import-export are obtained from the State Customs Committee with monthly periodicity

11. Commodity balances Customary for Azerbaijan, commodity balances are compiled  on 23 types of energy products Primary Products - 7: Crude oil, Natural bitumen and natural asphalt, Natural gas, Wood, Hydro-energy, Wind energy, Other fuel products (hard coal and etc). Secondary Products - 16: Refinery feed stock, Refinery gas; Oil products: LPG, Motor gasoline, Kerosene – type jet fuel, Other kerosene; Diesel fuel, Fuel oil-low sulphur, Fuel oil-high sulphur, Naphtha, Petroleum coke, Bitumen, Lubricants, Other petroleum products, Electric energy (EP working with fuel), Heat energy.

13. Text 4 for chapter 5 Net Calorific Values for some energy products in Azerbaijan Best practice Main important work that has been carried out in Azerbaijan was the identification of the country specific calorific values for the energy products. This was considered particularly important in order to reflect in the energy balances the higher calorific values of the energy products in the country. The SSC commissioned experts from the scientific institutions to identify the country specific calorific values. In particular, the Institute of Petrochemical Processes of the Academy of National Sciences of Azerbaijan carried out laboratory works and determined the calorific values of 23 energy products which are now used for the compilation of energy statistics and balances.
