This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Moldova statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Moldovan statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Moldovan-specific metadata information.
Indicator |
Indicator 7.1.2: tion of households by primary energy sources used for domestic needs (cooking, heating), % |
---|---|
Definition and concepts |
The following shall be considered as primary sources of energy: natural gas, petroleum (liquid) gas, electricity, fire wood, agricultural waste, biomass, other. Solid fuels are considered to be polluting and non modern, while the non-solid fuels are considered to be "clean". Solid fuels (such as wood, coal, agricultural waste) or kerosene associated with inefficient technologies / devices (open fire, individual ovens, space heaters or lamps) - are considered inefficient energy sources for cooking, heating and lighting and are associated with high levels of pollution within the household. Other: The "clean" energy source is defined depending on the emission rate of the respective energy sources - [see WHO Guide on quality of indoor air: burning of domestic fuel](https://www.who.int/airpollution/guidelines/household-fuel-combustion/en/). [WHO database](http://apps.who.int/gho/data/node.main.SDGFUELS712?lang=en) |

Data sources |

Method of computation |
Number of population using a certain energy source for domestic needs (such as cooking, heating) out of the total number of population using any energy sources for domestic needs. |
Comparability/deviation from international standards |
IG - the share of population using "clean" energy source for different purpose: cooking, heating, lighting; IN - the share of population using energy sources for domestic needs, like cooking and/or heating the dwelling, without making a difference between "clean" energy sources (as there is no national definition in the legislation in force) |
