Allocation of energy consumptions for energy sectors.

Energy-related sectors in IO table and energy statistical yearbookEnergy sectors in hybrid LCI modelAllocation method of energy consumptions

Coal mining and dressing1-1 Raw coal
1-2 Cleaned coal
1-3 Other washed coal
Ratio of energy consumptions of raw coal (1-1) and washed coal (1-2, 1-3) was assumed to be 25 : 9, based on Grade 3 of clean production standard of coal mining and processing industry [24]

Petroleum and natural gas extraction1-8 Crude oil
1-16 Natural gas
Crude oil and refinery gas are consumed in Crude oil extraction. Natural gas is consumed in natural gas extraction

Petroleum processing, coking, and processing of nuclear fuel1-4 Coke
1-5 Coke oven gas
1-6 Other gases
1-7 Other coking products
1-9 Gasoline
1-10 Kerosene
1-11 Diesel oil
1-12 Fuel oil
1-13 Liquefied petroleum gas
1-14 Refinery gas
1-15 Other petroleum products
Coking products are consumed in coking. Crude oil and refinery gas are consumed in processing of petroleum. Ratios of refining efficiency of gasoline, kerosene, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, and fuel oil are assumed to be 85% : 87% : 89% : 93.5% : 95% [25]. Refining efficiency of refinery and other petroleum are assumed to be the same as fuel oil

Electric power and steam production and supply1-17 Electricity
1-18 Steam
The equivalent value of electricity to heat is assumed to be 2.78 [14]

Gas production and supply1-5 Coke oven gas
1-13 Liquefied petroleum gas
1-16 Natural gas
