    The model distinguishes the following energy conversion processes:

    • Electricity production: detailed representation of power generation capacities and production
    • Heat production: coverage of distributed means (cogeneration, solar), no coverage of centralized means
    • Gaseous fuels: gas (natural gas and methane recovery), hydrogen
    • Liquid fuels: crude oil refineries; liquid fuels production from coal, gas and solid biomass
    • Solid fuels: coal (and coke), biomass
