iii34 Energy intensity
Energy intensity is defined as the value of the purchases
of energy products used as fuel in the production process
of the sector relative to the value of production and value
added respectively. More precisely, this excludes the energy
products used as intermediate inputs to be transformed
into final products, such as crude oil used to produce
refined oil products in the coke and oil refining sector.
TAbLE III.6: EU energy intensity. Average 2005-07
Quite a few sectors in which the EU has become less
competitive — textiles, leather or clothing — are relatively
energy intensive. But also, some sectors where the EU
is performing well compared to the rest of the world
(Chapter V) are more energy intensive, namely pulp and
paper, non‑metallic mineral products and chemicals,
cf. Table III.6.
