End-use energy demands in CROSS scenarios v2025-06: Reference, High and low variants
| Package version | |
| Description | End-use energy demand for Switzerland in 2000-2050 in CROSS scenarios v2025-06- Space heat, process heat, warm water, electricity appliances, passenger and freight transport, and aviation fuels |
| Notes | End-use energy demand for Switzerland in 2000-2050, assumptions in CROSS scenarios v2025-06. The demands are end-use demands, not to be confused with final energy consumption (FEC). FEC is defined as 'the energy which reaches the final consumer’s door'. In other words, the FEC is the amount of input fuel needed to satisfy the (EUD) in energy services. As an example, in the case of decentralized heat production with a gas boiler, the FEC is the amount of gas consumed by the boiler; the EUD is the amount of heat produced by the boiler, i.e. the heating service needed by the final user |
