Recommendation 21
Over-all energy balances should be constructed in the matrix form with the following characteristics:
Columns show energy sources (energy commodities)
Rows show flows from origins to uses of energy (energy transactions)
Separate sub-matrices show, respectively:
(a) Supplies of primary sources, and equivalents;
(b) Transformation inputs (with negative signs) and outputs (with positive signs); transformation losses in the total column (with negative signs); energy industries' own use; transmission and other losses;
(c) Final uses.
