Metals
Demand for tons of steel is represented in order to inform the iron and steel industry sector. This provides a better activity indicator instead of value added and allows for the study of changes in the geographical allocation of steel-making due to energy price changes and carbon leakage. See Industrial sector - POLES.
Water
In certain versions of the POLES model, water use associated to the production of electricity is modelled. A water use is associated per technology and provides projections of water needs based on installed capacities per technology.
Additionally, the model has been used for studying the side-effects of the energy system and associated emissions in terms of air pollutionrafaj2012co and healthmarkandya2009pu.
