Missing industrial sector lpg demand
Feature Request
build_demand.py line 2602-2608
else:
fuels = ("electricity", "heat", "cool", "space_heat", "water_heat")
demands = demand_converter.prepare_multiple_demands(
end_use, # residential, commercial, industry, transport
fuels,
sns=sns,
)
excludes "lpg" from the fuels for industrial demand, making the final industrial demand consist only of electricity and heat.
Suggested Solution
Maybe process industrial sector separately.

Thanks for flagging, @WeiAi-Energy! This was done intentionally by me (and maybe a poor assumption!). I was not treating LPG as an end use fuel as I did not know whether it was used directly for heating/electricity (ie. the included end-uses as you mentioned) or as a feed stock application. Therefore, I chose to leave it out.
Lets leave this issue open though, and link it to #558 as that also discusses updating industrial end-use demands.
