Recommendation 7
(a) An overall energy balance should cover all flows of energy including the so-called "non-commercial" sources. Coverage of such sources should be as extensive as possible. When such sources are known to be important but little data exist, such steps as sample surveys should be instituted to improve the amount and quality of data;
(b) Autogeneration of electricity from purchased fuels, with or without the joint production of heat, should be treated as part of the transformation sector;
(c) Autogeneration from industry's own hydropower should be treated as primary production of electricity;
(d) Steam or hot water produced by the combustion of industrial (or urban) wastes or by exothermic or other heat recovered within industry, should be recorded as primary production;
(e) Each method of electricity generation contributing a significant amount of the total supply of electricity should be assigned a separate row in an energy balance.
