Description
Everyday we are surrounded by all different types of energy. Most of the energy we use comes from fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas petroleum or its derivates. These are known as primary energy. By tracking that energy down until is finally used in our households to create light, heating, cooling or to cook or when is delivered to our cars to create motion we can find the total amount of energy used. This last stage of energy us know as useful energy. The goal of our research was to the allocation to which each primary energy leads to and the efficiencies at which the energy is used at its final form.
