1 Like Hello, fellow LEAP modelers! Currently, I am developing a model aimed at tracking the amount of methane and fugitive emissions from oil/gas lifting processes and coal mining. However, it's important to note that I also need to exclude fugitive emissions from imported fossils. As one of my initial strategies, I tried creating new properties for fossil fuels as secondary fuel after transformation. However, when I observe the results in both Sankey diagrams and energy balance tables, my fossils seem to disappear from the primary energy. Does anyone know the cause? Or are there any other suggested solutions?

Hi Pintoko,
One possibility: Make sure you mark the fuel type in the General: Fuels screen (as either a primary resource or a secondary fuel as appropriate). That would impact how the fuels get treated when plotting energy balances and Sankey Diagrams. Let me know if that does not help though.

Thank you for your response, Mr. Charles Heaps. I believe I can currently address the generation of fugitive emissions without delving into the creation of secondary fuel. I propose establishing a transformation branch with the input and output both being the same fossil fuel.
