Energy

Energy is generated by a range of fossil fuels or renewables sources and distributed to the final users – households, industries, economic activities – to obtain a set of services that yield benefits to people, such as illumination and thermal comfort. We analyze how climate and it’s variation interact with socio-economic factors to influence the energy demand.
