Production of electricity from non-renewable sources

NACE v2.1 Code: D35.11

About production of electricity from non-renewable sources

NACE code 35.11 covers the production of electricity from non-renewable sources, such as fossil fuels and nuclear power. This industry plays a crucial role in meeting the world's growing energy demands, providing a reliable and stable supply of electricity to power homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure. As a key component of the broader energy sector, the production of electricity from non-renewable sources is essential for supporting economic growth and development across various industries.

Production process

The production of electricity from non-renewable sources typically involves the conversion of the chemical or nuclear energy stored in fuels like coal, natural gas, or uranium into electrical energy. This process often takes place in large-scale power plants, where the fuel is burned or undergoes nuclear fission to generate heat, which is then used to drive turbines and generators that produce electricity. The specific techniques employed can vary depending on the type of non-renewable fuel used, but the general principles of thermal power generation remain the same.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electricity from non-renewable sources include the raw fuel materials, such as coal, natural gas, or uranium, as well as specialized equipment like boilers, turbines, generators, and cooling systems. Additionally, this industry relies on a range of supporting infrastructure, such as power transmission lines, substations, and distribution networks, to deliver the generated electricity to end-users. The availability and cost of these key inputs can significantly impact the overall viability and profitability of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the NACE code 35.11 industry is the generation and supply of electricity to the grid, which is then distributed and consumed by a wide range of other economic activities. The electricity produced from non-renewable sources can be used to power 35.12 Transmission of electricity, 35.13 Distribution of electricity, and 35.14 Trade of electricity, as well as a diverse array of industries, such as 06.10 Extraction of crude petroleum, 07.21 Mining of uranium and thorium ores, and 24.46 Processing of nuclear fuel.
