  1. Interpretation of indicators on agriculture and fishing Bruno Lapillonne, Vice President, Enerdata Reunión Técnica de Trabajo del Proyecto BIEE 24 – 26 de febrero, 2014, San José, Costa Rica

  2. Share of agriculture sector in final consumption and GDP • Agriculture sector includes: agriculture (farming, cattle breeding…), fishing and forestry • Sector with usually a low share of final energy consumption and GDP but sometimes with a significant contribution in the GDP in less industrialized countries: • From around 2%-3% of final energy consumption in Chile or Mexico to a range of 5-7% in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina • From around 5% of GDP in Chile, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina to 8% in Uruguay and 13% Bolivia and 22% in Paraguay. • Consumption not well known (e.g. Chile, Bolivia and Paraguay). • Coverage of energy use not always clear and breakdown not always available between the different sub-sectors.

  3. Energy efficiency indicators in agriculture • Overall indicators: • Total energy intensity • Diesel intensity • Electric intensity • Indicators by sub-sector • Energy intensities separated for agriculture, fishing and forestry • Specific consumption per hectare for agriculture • Specific consumption for fishing per boat • Indicators by type of activity (type of crop, of fishing) • Indicators to be related to different explanatory factors: • Rate of mechanization of agriculture • % of agriculture area with irrigation • Rate of equipment in electric and diesel pumps

  4. Overall indicators • Indicator by sub-sector • Indicators by type of activity

  5. Trends in energy consumption and agriculture Usually strong fluctuations of the value added depending on weather conditions (rainfall) and consumption doe not follow these variations in activity Trends in value added and energy consumption of agriculture: case of Morocco value added consumption Source: Medener

  6. Energy intensity trends of agriculture Strong fluctuations in the energy intensity due strong variations in value added of the sector with climate fluctuations ( draught, flooding… )

  7. Comparison of energy intensity of agriculture • Agriculture ismuch more energy intensive in Argentina and Uruguay • Agriculture not intensive in Paraguay and Bolivia • Energy intensity of agriculture and fishing (2010)

  8. Overall indicators • Indicators by sub-sector • Indicators by type of activity

  9. Energy consumption of agriculture sector by sub -sector Energy consumption of agriculture fishing and forestry: case of Uruguay Source BIEE, from DNE/MME

  10. Energy consumption of agriculture sector by sub -sector Energy consumption of agriculture fishing and forestry: case of Uruguay Source BIEE, from DNE/MME

  11. Energy intensity of agriculture sector by sub –sector: case of Tunisia Energy intensity of agriculture and fishing in Tunisia agriculture fishing

  12. Specific energy consumption of agriculture • Specific energy consumption per ha Sources: Tunisia, Morocco, Lebanon and Algeria: Medener; El Salvador, Uruguay: BIEE

  13. Specific energy consumption of agriculture: impact of irrigation Irrigation is twice more intensive in Uruguay (around 15% of land irrigated) Specific energy consumption of agriculture per hectare: irrigated vs non irrigated: Uruguay Source BIEE, from DNE/MME

  14. Specific energy consumption of agriculture: impact of irrigation In Morocco, irrigated land require more than 6 times more energy Specific energy consumption of agriculture per hectare: irrigated vs non irrigated: Morocco toe/ha irrigated land

  15. Specific energy consumption of agriculture: impact of irrigation The magnitude of the difference depends on the climate: in Mediterranean countries (e.g. Lebanon or Morocco), the ratio is around 6. • Specific energy consumption per hectare: irrigated vs non irrigated

  16. Specific energy consumption for fishing • Specific energy consumption for fishing

  17. Overall indicators • Indicators by sub-sector • Indicators by type of activity

  18. Energy intensity by type of farming: case of Tunisia

  19. Energy consumption of fishing by type of fishing: case of Tunisia

  20. Specific energy consumption for fishing by type The specific consumption for fishing (in toe/t of fish) varies quite a lot with the type of fishing. In Tunisia the average is around 1 toe/ton but it is around 2 for tuna fishing, and only 0.5 toe for coastal fishing Specific energy consumption for fishing by type: case of Tunisia Tuna fishing Large fishing boats average Coastal fishing
