 Energy use of the agriculture, fisheries and forestry sector is captured with the value added of agriculture and income per capita.
-== Own use of the energy sector ==
-=== Fossil fuel extraction ===
-POLES describes explicitely the direct energy use, and the corresponding emissions, of the following fuels:
-- tar sands
-- extra heavy oil
-- oil shale
-All other energy use related to fossil fuel extraction is captured in one single factor, expressed by fuel as a % of the energy production and kepy constant over time at the last historical value.
-=== Refineries ===
-The energy use in the refining sector is captured through a coefficient, expressed as a % of the demand for oil product, kept constant over time at the last historical vakue
-=== Others ===
-Other own-energy uses are captured through a coefficient, expressed by fuel as a % of primary energy demand, kept constant over time at the last historical value.
-== Losses in Transport & Distribution ==
-Losses in T&D are expressed by fuel as a % of final energy use, and by default kept constant at the last historical value.
-They can be adjusted depending on the scenario (for instance to capture a decrease in electricity losses, ..).
