Statement of need

Extended World Energy Balance (EWEB) data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) (IEA) are indispensable for societal energy analysis and societal exergy analysis (SEA). However,

the EWEB data are not available native in the R data frame format;
as distributed, the EWEB data are definitely not tidy; and
the EWEB are not in physical supply-use table (PSUT) format proposed by @Heun:2018.

IEATools provides functions to address the above needs.

Installation

You can install IEATools from GitHub with:

# install devtools if not already installed
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("MatthewHeun/IEATools")
# To build vignettes locally, use
devtools::install_github("MatthewHeun/IEATools", build_vignettes = TRUE)

History

The functions in this package were used in Heun et al. [-@Heun:2018].

Permission to distribute IEA extended energy balance data for two years and two countries was obtained by Matthew Kuperus Heun from Nick Johnstone of the IEA during a phone call at 11 AM on Mon, 3 June 2019.
