The "energy" type includes energy commodities, such as biomass, electricity, gasoline, and hydrogen,

which are either extracted, transformed from one to another, or used in the energy system.

The "service" type includes commodities such as space heating or hot water which correspond to selected
28

people's needs, and whose fulfillment requires energy uses.

The "material" type represent non-energy inputs for energy technologies, such as limestone or oxygen.

The "environmental" type refers to non-energy commodities whichare used to quantify an impact on the environment,
32

such as greenhouse gases or CO2. They can be subjected to different types of environmental fees or taxes.

is CO2 emission per unit of commodity flow.

Unit
48

is the unit used as a basis for all the input data. More specifically the model allows
49
-
a totally flexible way of defining the commodities. CommodityName is currently the
50
-
only column used internally as it defines the names of commodities and needs to be
51
-
used consistently across all the input data files. The remaining columns of the file
52
-
are only relevant for the user internal reference for the original sets of
53

assumptions used.
49

Unit (optional)
50
+
is the unit used to represent quantities of the commodity (e.g "PJ").
51
+
This parameter does not need to be included, as it isn't used in the model, but care should be taken to ensure that units are consistent across all input files.

Is the *minimum* output of the technology in a year, divided by the theoretical maximum output if the technology were operating at full capacity for the whole year. Must be between 0 and 1 and be smaller or equal than the `UtilizationFactor`. It is used to define the minimum service level that a technology must provide due to, typically, technical or efficiency constraints.
