Question

What is the amount of energy produced (including distributed production) in Helsinki? Where is it produced (-> emissions)? Which processes are used in its production?

Answer

Rationale

Energy balance

Amount produced is determined largely by the energy balance in Helsinki and Helsinki energy consumption. Energy produced and fuels used by of all Helen's power plants.[1]

⇤--#: . How to model non-adjustable energy production exactly? Probably needs a submodel instead of a t2b table. --Jouni (talk) 07:30, 27 June 2015 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack)

----#: . Should air conditioning be in process matrix or in non-adjustable energy production? --Jouni (talk) 07:30, 27 June 2015 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)

These equations aim to reflect the energy production facilities and capabilities.

Note! Maintenance cost only contains costs that do not depend on activity. Operational cost contains costs that depend on activity but NOT fuel costs; those are calculated separately based on energy produced.

Heating

Fuel use by heating type

Only district heating is Helsinki specific, rest should be taken from Emission factors for burning processes.
