Coal

Coal primary supply (imported or domestically produced) is directly fed to consumption.

Sectors consume steam/thermal coal or coking coal (iron and steel sector). The coking coal transformation is captured in final energy demand.


Biomass

Biomass primary supply (imported or domestically produced; in energy units) is directly fed to consumption.

Solid biomass can be used to produce liquid biofuels or electricity in energy transformation; or in direct combustion in final demand.
