In this type of balance , transformation of natural gas into electricity would not generate loses and in some cases occasional gain could even occur. The advantage of using equivalent energy is that it permits to treat with more transparency fuel substitutions. On the other hand, this seems to be the best way to approach the economic activity and energy use relationship, as shown by the results already obtained. This is done by simply multiplying the coefficients for each sector and energy source by the corresponding values in equivalent energy. The following figures illustrate the calculation process.
Values are in equivalent energy.
