Primary vs final energy
Primary Energy: Raw, unprocessed inputs (e.g., coal, wood, oil)
Secondary Energy: Converted into a transportable form (e.g., electricity, gasoline, charcoal)
Final Energy: Delivered to consumers (e.g., electricity at home, gasoline at pump)
Useful Energy: The actual energy used for the application (e.g., light from a bulb, movement of a car)
↓ Oil, Coal, Biofuels/Waste
↑ Electricity, Gas, Other
