Technical coefficients for inputs to new energy technologies

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7367107

The derivation of input-output technical coefficients is described for inputs to four new energy supply and conversion technologies from non-energy technologies for use in the modified ''energy products'' energy/employment policy model at the University of Illinois Center for Advanced Computation. The four new technologies are solvent-refining of coal, oil shale mining and retorting, high temperature gas-cooled reactor electricity generation, and COGAS combined cycle electricity generation. The coefficients are given in units of dollars per billion Btu and represent the inputs from nonenergy sectors (e.g. manufacturing, transportation, services) required per unit of production by one of the energy supply technologies. The 85 non-energy sectors included are based on the Bureau of Economic Analysis 83 sector input-output structure with minor disaggregations. The paper also presents the input-output coefficients for inputs from energy sectors to these four new technologies as well as to one additional technology: coal gasification. (auth)
