Category: Energy

Receipts From other sources include supplies of energy commodities, the production of which has already been covered in other fuel balances.
Coal: e.g. liquids produced from coal liquefaction plants, the liquid output from coke ovens. It consists of two components: Firstly, it includes recovered slurries, middlings and other low-grade coal products, which cannot be classified according to type of coal. This includes coal recovered from waste piles and other waste receptacles. Secondly, it includes supplies of fuel of which production is covered in other fuel energy balances, but for which consumption will occur in the coal energy balance. 
Natural gas: e.g. the manufacture of synthetic gasoline requires natural gas as feedstock. The amount of gas for methanol manufacture is accounted for in the natural gas balance, while the receipts of methanol are reported as Receipts from other sources in the oil balance.
Renewables: e.g. the biofuels which are for blending with transport fuels. Production is reported in the Renewables questionnaire, while amounts for blending are reported in Receipts from other sources. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/;ELX_SESSIONID=SkP2JRQdhyzLXkYdGPv9Sp342kJcWjtwvW2wyXLpMbSTkmxlVDFj!1423190359?uri=CELEX:32008R1099
