While GTAP database has included energy use data from IEA (Narayanan et al., 2012), we incorporate IEA’s recent updates by recalibrating the historical energy use in the model based on the World Energy Outlook (IEA, 2012a).<ref>International Energy Agency (IEA), 2012a: World Energy Outlook.

In standard EPPA, it considers various types of primary energy, including 1) coal, 2) crude oil, 3) gas, 4) nuclear, 5) hydro, 6) wind, 7) solar, and 8) bio-energy. Per the crude oil, it is further converted into the refined oil, which is then consumed by intermediate and final use. On the other hand, the bio-energy considered in EPPA includes the first-generation biofuels, which are made from different types of food crops, and the second-generation cellulosic biofuels derived from non-food crops and waste biomass (EPA, 2022).[1]

There are also project-specific versions of the model that were developed to offer more options of energy sources (e.g., hydrogen (Sandoval et al., 2009)[2]), or higher resolution on energy types (e.g., separating crude oil into conventional crude and tar sand (Chan et al., 2012),[3] and disaggregating refined oil into gasoline and diesel (Choumert et al., 2006),[4] Ramberg and Chen (2015)[5]). More details about the energy reserves and flows will be provided later.
