Final energy use refers to energy used in the end-use sectors, i.e. Industry, Transportation, Residential and Commercial (and potentially others). It's definition in energy statistics generally includes non-energy use of energy carriers, predominantly in the petrochemical industry and therefore should also be reported under final energy use (in the industy sector) in the reporting template. Given that not all models represent non-energy use, this deviation from the reporting convention should be clearly documented by making use of the comments tab in the reporting template.
Traditional biomass which is used predominantly in the residential sector of many developing countries should also be reported as part of final energy use (in the residential and commercial sector). If it is not represented, it should again be documented making use of the comments tab in the reporting template. To be able to compare indentical quantities across models, it is important to report traditional biomass use separately if it is represented in a specific model, both in the breakdown by energy carrier (Figure 1) and by sector and energy carrier (Figure 2).
Final Energy[|Sector][|Secondary Energy Carrier][|Source][|Energy Service] , where �Sector� is one of the end-use sectors (e.g., Industry, Residential and Commercial, Transportation, Agriculture). In addition, the possibility of �Other Sector� should be included as a model dependent residual sector. The �Secondary Energy Carrier|Source� combination acts essentially in the same way as in the �Secondary Energy� variable category. The optional �Energy Service� can be appended to count the use of the final energy in a certain service technology or sector that generates this energy service (e.g., Passenger Transportation, Cooking, Lighting).
Final energy use is usuually described by sector (e.g., Industry, Transportation, Residential and Commercial) and/or energy carrier. Figure 1 provides the breakdown of final energy by energy carrier.
In addition to the breakdown of final energy by energy carrier in the tree above, a breakdown by end-use sector (and further by sector and energy carrier) is applied which is shown in Figure 2 below.
