Gross available energy means the overall supply of energy for all activities on the territory of a country.
It includes energy needs for energy transformation (including generating electricity from combustible
fuels), support operations of the energy sector itself, transmission and distribution losses, final energy
consumption (industry, transport, households, services, agriculture, etc.) and the use of fossil fuel
products for non-energy purposes (e.g. in the chemical industry). It also includes fuel purchased within
the country that is used elsewhere (e.g. international aviation, international maritime bunkers and, in
the case of road transport “fuel tourism”).
