Energy Consumption
Energy consumption is stored in the EnergyConsumption model class and models subsectors that utilize but do not produce fuels or fuel feedstocks, including:
Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCSQ)
Industrial Energy (INEN)
Stationary Combustion and Other Energy (SCOE)
Transportation (TRNS)
Transportation Demand (TRDE)
Energy consumption also contained the Energy Fuels (ENFU) subsector, a non-emission model subsector that contains information about fuels–both combustible and non-combustible–that are used in the EnergyConsumption and EnergyProduction models. The dimensions required for the NemoMod framework are available from the NemoMod Categories Documentation.
Modeling Concepts and Important Notes
Fuels and Heat Energy
In general, energy is produced by stationary or mobile combustion of different fuels. The combustion of fuels releases \(\text{CO}_2\), \(\text{CH}_4\), and \(\text{N}_2\text{O}\) (and other gasses, which may not be captured). These fuels are utilized by different technologies, which may use fuels at different efficiencies. Energy can also be stored (specifically electricity). The term fuel is explicitly used in all energy subsectors, while technology and storage are used in the NemoMod electricity model.
Note
Fuels are used in both non-electric energy and electric energy. However, since they are a required component of the NemoMod electricity model, variables and attributes associated with fuel are available in the Energy - Electricity section.
The combination of fuel and efficiency is an important concept for entering input data. Energy use in SCOE and CCSQ both use a fraction of energy demand at point of use to project future changes in fuel mixtures. However, many empirical data that are used rely on energy consumption, and both SCOE and CCSQ take initial consumption as inputs to SISEPUEDE.
Let
\(D_t\) be the total energy demand at time \(t\)
\(C_t\) be the total energy consumption at time \(t\) in question (input to model)
\(\alpha^{(C)}_t \in \mathbb{R}^n\) be the vector of fuel mix fractions of consumption at time \(t\) for \(n\) fuels
\(\alpha^{(D)}_t \in \mathbb{R}^n\) be the vector of fuel mix fractions of demand at time \(t\) for \(n\) fuels (input to model)
\(e_t \in \mathbb{R}^n\) be the vector of fuel-technology average efficiencies at time \(t\) for \(n\) fuels, the demand is
\(D_t = C_t\left(\alpha^{(C)}_t \cdot e_t\right)\).
The fraction at point-of-use demand \(\alpha^{(D)}_{ti}\) for fuel \(i\) is then calculated as
\(\alpha^{(D)}_{ti} = \frac{\alpha^{(C)}_{ti}e_{ti}}{\alpha^{(C)}_t \cdot e_t}\),
i.e., the point-of-use demand is the efficiency-weighted fraction of consumption. For more information on the energy models’ mathematical specification, see the Mathematical Documentation of Energy Models.
Energy Fuels (ENFU)
Fuel is cross-cutting, affecting all energy sectors (including Electricity). EXPAND DESCRIPTION

Stationary Combustion and Other Energy (SCOE)
SCOE (**S**ationary **C**ombustion and **O**ther **E**nergy) captures stationary emissions, primarily from combustion occuring in buildings (split out by differing drivers) and allows for the specification of other fuel combustion emissions not captured elsewhere.

Transportation (TRNS)
Transportation consists of different categories (or modes) of transportation that are used to satisfy different types of demand. In general
Socioeconomic:
Transportation Demand:
Energy Production:
Known Issues
Discuss how variables that are set in Transportation have to be added to the EnergyConsumption class as well
Categories
Categories associated with Transportation are identified by the $CAT-TRANSPORTATION$ variable schema element and shown in the category attribute table shown below.
Note
These categories are associated with different Transportation Demand categories, which govern mode-shifting.
Category Name |

Description |
Data Source |
Hyperlink |
Notes |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Aviation |
|
International and domestic civil (passenger and freight) and military aviation. Driven by demand for regional travel. |
|
|||
Heavy Duty Road |
|
Private heavy vehicles primarily designed for freight transportat, including heavy duty trucks (e.g., semis). Excludes busses. Driven by freight demand. |
|
|||
Heavy Freight Rail |
|
Freight rail transport, including heavy freight and heavy passenger. Excludes light rail, trolleys, streetcars (see public transportation). Driven by growth in freight demand. |
|
|||
Heavy Passenger Rail |
|
Heavy passenger rail, inlcuidng intra-national rail networks, high-speed rail, regional public rail, and others. Driven by demand for regional travel. |
|
|||
Human Powered |
|
Biking, walking, and other forms of transportation that do not rely on fuels. Primarily driven by cycling. Demand changes driven by growth in public and private demand. |
|
|||
Light Duty Road |
|
Transportation from public and private road-going automobiles, inluding cars and light duty trucks. NOTE: public fleets of cars (e.g., postal delivery vehicles or light-duty utility service vehicles) should be included here. Driven by growth in public and private demands. |
|
|||
Public Heavy Road |
|
Road-based public transport, including busses, tolleys, light rail, and streetcars. |
|
|||
Regional Road |
|
Regional heavy transit driven by population growth. Primarily driven by busses. |
|
|||
Powered Bikes |
|
Other very light transportation, including two and three-wheel motorcycles and electric bikes. |
|
|||
Water-borne |
|
Emissions from fuels used by domestic water-borne trips and international water-borne trips (incl. the sea, inland water channels, and lakes). |
|
Variables
Variables associated with the Transportation subsector are shown below.
Note
\(\text{CH}_4\) and \(\text{N}_4\text{O}\) emissions from mobile combustion of fuels are highly dependent on the technologies (e.g., types of cars) that use the fuels. Therefore, emission factors for mobile combustion of fuels are contained in the Transportation subsector instead of the Energy Fuels subsector. See Section Volume 2, Chapter 3, Section 3.2.1.2 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories for more information.

Transportation Demand (TRDE)
Transportation demand is broken into its own subsector given some of the complexities that drive transportation demand (unlike other subsectors, like SCOE, that do not contain categorical mode-shifting within demands). The SISEPUEDE transportation demand subsector allows for more complex interactions–e.g., interactions with industrial production, growth in tourism, waste collection, and imports and exports–to be integrated, though these are not dealt with explicitly at this time.
Categories
Categories associated with Transportation are identified by the $CAT-TRANSPORTATION-DEMAND$ variable schema element and shown in the category attribute table shown below. These categories are associated with different allowable mode shifts between vehicle types.
