Data on production, imports, exports and consumption of renewable energy resources, charcoal and waste are  are collected and compiled in accordance with Eurostat methodology "Renewables Annual Questionnaire". Data are acquired with calculations by using several data sources:

• CSB annual survey 1-energy "Report on production of heat and electricity";
• CSB annual survey 2-EK "Report on purchase and use of energy resources";
• Customs declarations on trade with third countries;
• INTRASTAT monthly survey of enterprises engaged in trade with EU Member States.

Consumption of fuel in sectors of national economy is found out by surveying State and local government enterprises of all sectors of national economy regardless the number of employed and by surveying all other enterprises employing 80 persons or more. Every year approximately 6 thousand respondents are surveyed. Data on enterprises and organisation employing less than 80 persons are acquired with the help of random sampling, and afterwards obtained information is extrapolated.

Total consumption is calculated as follows: production + imports – exports + stock changes + statistical differences

For the wood calculations following coefficients are used:

1 m³ solid = 2.5 m³ loose;

1 m³ solid = 0.7 tonne.
