Industry consumption is specified as follows (energy used for transport by industry is not included here but is reported under transport):

  • Iron and steel industry [ISIC Group 241 and Class 2431];
  • Chemical and petrochemical industry [ISIC Divisions 20 and 21] excluding petrochemical feedstocks;
  • Non-ferrous metals basic industries [ISIC Group 242 and Class 2432];
  • Non-metallic minerals such as glass, ceramic, cement, etc. [ISIC Division 23];
  • Transport equipment [ISIC Divisions 29 and 30];
  • Machinery. Fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment other than transport equipment [ISIC Divisions 25 to 28];
  • Mining (excluding fuels) and quarrying [ISIC Divisions 07 and 08 and Group 099];
  • Food and tobacco [ISIC Divisions 10 to 12];
  • Paper, pulp and print [ISIC Divisions 17 and 18];
  • Wood and wood products (other than pulp and paper) [ISIC Division 16];

  • Textile and leather [ISIC Divisions 13 to 15];
  • Non-specified (any manufacturing industry not included above) [ISIC Divisions 22, 31 and 32].

Note: Most countries have difficulties supplying an industrial breakdown for all fuels. In these cases, the non-specified industry row has been used. Regional aggregates of industrial consumption should therefore be used with caution.  ISIC codes refer to the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities, Series M, No. 4/Rev. 4, United Nations, New York, 2008.
