exiobase "energy products" in "standard international energy product classification"

[mfastudillo]

This correspondance table could be potentially very useful. I think it has many users such as the IEA, the UN energy statistics database and I think national inventory reports to IPCC.

the classification is described on a pdf. To have it on csv format may require some manual work, but they sent me a docx version of some of the tables and that would speed up the process.

The downside is that the UN energy statistics database has a price, so I doubt we can use this database to improve the energy balances of Exiobase. what do you think @Stefano-MRC ?

I agree with Miguel, this classification can be useful.

If you send me the docx file I can easily convert the tables into csv file.

I was in contact with the UN statistical division and it seem they have dismantled the unit in charge of correspondance tables 1 year ago. The classification with the correspondance is in one pdf manual.

I think this would be "nice to have" but proritary for the moment.
