Energy demand from the various end-uses (industry, buildings, transport, agriculture) is aggregated into totals that have to be supplied by the energy transformation module.

The following energy vectors are modelled:

• oil
• gas
• coal
• biofuels (solid: traditional, modern; transport: liquid biofuels: transport)
• electricity
• marketed heat
• hydrogen
