Energy Systems
How does the Nordic energy system look? What changes have they seen? This Category looks at energy consumption, primary energy supply, energy intensity, etc.
The Nordics: GDP, energy-related CO2 emissions and total primary energy demand
The Nordic region needs to continue to decouple energy-related CO2 from GDP. Progress in industry, transport, and buildings represents the biggest challenge. Energy efficiency and decarbonisation of end-use sectors need…
The Nordic region needs to continue to decouple energy-related CO2 from GDP. Progress in industry, transport, and buildings represents the biggest challenge. Energy efficiency and decarbonisation of end-use sectors need to play a prominent role in this decoupling going forward.
The total primary energy demand represents the total energy demand in the region and includes:
- consumption by the energy sector itself,
- distribution and transformation losses, and
- final energy consumption by end-users.
Note: Total primary energy demand ~ gross inland energy consumption
