Interesting and informative post, thank you. I am curious about your end use sector chart. You show approximately 2 quads of renewable energy in the transportation sector. Renewables generate electricity only. Could you explain how this electricity is being used in transportation. I don’t question the number – EIA showed about 1.7 quads in their 2023 Sankey diagram. Assuming it is being used to recharge EV batteries, how is it calculated? Is there another use?

Clarification would be appreciated, thank you.
Thank you for the question. I believe this is from biofuels.
Thanks. That makes sense. I hadn't thought of that.
Thank you!
