MONET 2030: Final energy consumption by energy source

SDG 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Goal description

« Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world faces today. Be it for jobs, security, climate change, food production or increasing incomes, access to energy for all is essential. Sustainable energy is opportunity – it transforms lives, economies and the planet. […]»

Swiss target 7.1: A sufficient, highly diversified, reliable, profitable and environment-friendly energy supply as well as the resilience of the requisite infrastructure is guaranteed.

Significance of the indicator
The indicator shows the proportional distribution of final energy consumption across the different energy sources. Diversification of energy sources helps ensure a reliable energy supply, as it reduces the dependence on one single energy source. A reduction in the percentage of petroleum products is a step towards sustainable development.

International comparability
The indicator is not comparable at international level.

Synthesis

Comments: Assessment made on the „Petroleum products“ category.

Figures on final energy consumption come from the global energy statistics. These synthesised statistics, compiled by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, relies on several surveys on the production and consumption of energy.

Swiss target 7.1: A sufficient, highly diversified, reliable, profitable and environment-friendly energy supply as well as the resilience of the requisite infrastructure is guaranteed.

International target 7.1: By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services.
