EU Combustion Plant Fuel Input Records — EEA IED

Keyless. Pay per record. The fuel mix and energy input of Europe's combustion plants — fuel by fuel, in terajoules.

This actor turns the European Environment Agency (EEA) Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) registry into clean, per-fuel-input records — the fuel mix and energy input reported by the combustion parts of Europe's industrial installations. Each run reads the EEA's keyless DiscoData SQL service and delivers one row per fuel input: the fuel input type, the energy input in terajoules (TJ), and other gaseous/solid fuel detail, keyed to the installation-part report. Part / fuel / TJ / report grain, structured for engineering use, reusable with acknowledgement of the EEA, with no personal data of any kind.

What this is, in one paragraph

Under the IED, combustion parts report the fuels they burn and how much energy each contributes. This actor reads that energy-input table and flattens each fuel line into a single analysis-ready record: the fuel input type (natural gas, coal, biomass, other gaseous, other solid, and so on), the energy input in terajoules, the free-form other-gaseous and other-solid fuel detail, any confidentiality reason, and the installation-part-report id that keys the line back to its combustion part. Energy values are carried verbatim in the source unit (TJ). It is the fuel-mix layer of Europe's combustion register. You are billed only for records actually delivered.

Who buys this and for what job

• Energy, decarbonisation, and fuel-switching teams analysing the fuel mix and energy input of Europe's combustion base.
• Carbon-accounting and ESG products attributing energy input by fuel type across installations.
• Power-market and biomass-supply teams sizing fuel demand from the combustion register.
• Data engineers who want the IED fuel-input table as clean rows from a keyless source.

EEA licence — reuse with acknowledgement

One licence rider travels on every record. EEA data may be reused, including commercially, provided the source is acknowledged: "Source: European Environment Agency (EEA)." Where third-party content is marked, it keeps its own terms. These are reported energy inputs as filed — not an audit.

Part/fuel grain — no person data

The unit of every record is a fuel-input line keyed to an installation-part report — an organisation-level report, never a person. There is no operator, contact, or responsible-person field in the source, and none is emitted; a person-key guard runs on every record as a backstop. The payload is a fuel type, an energy figure, and the report id.

An unbilled RUN_RECEIPT records the robots check, the filter, rows seen and delivered, and whether charged equals delivered.

Field reference

Each record is one fuel-input line. Identity: record_id and installation_part_report_id (the key back to the combustion-part report). Fuel: fuel_input, energy_input_tj, other_gaseous_fuel, and other_solid_fuel. Provenance: confidentiality_reason, control_file_id, source, source_url, licence, attribution, disclaimer, and observed_at.

How a run works

A run first re-reads the source host's robots posture from your runtime — the EEA DiscoData host — and stops at the door if that ever changes. It pages the energy-input table, applies your optional fuelContains filter, and flattens each fuel line to one record — carrying the energy figure verbatim in TJ, never anything person-shaped — delivered before it is charged, so a blocked or empty run costs you nothing. The actor stops at your maxRecords ceiling and records charge_equals_delivered in the receipt.

Coverage and scope

The energy-input table holds on the order of 283,000+ fuel-input lines. Because each record carries the fuel_input, energy_input_tj, and installation_part_report_id, segmenting by fuel type and joining to the combustion part is straightforward. Pull one fuel type, or the whole table to seed a fuel-mix warehouse.

Working with the fuel inputs

The fuel inputs are the fuel-mix backbone, and the fields make them additive. Because every line pairs a fuel_input type with an energy_input_tj, a fuel-mix total by type across installations is a single group-by, and the shared unit (terajoules) means no scale-guessing. The installation_part_report_id keys each line back to its combustion part, so the fuel mix attaches to the part's category, operating hours, and district-heating share from the fleet's combustion-part cell — a full picture of what each asset burns and how it runs. The other_gaseous_fuel and other_solid_fuel detail captures the long tail of fuels the standard categories miss.

Units and joins

Energy input is carried in terajoules exactly as reported, so the figures are additive across fuels and plants without any unit conversion or re-basing on this actor's part — a fuel-mix total is a straight sum. The installation_part_report_id is the join key back to the combustion-part report, so a buyer can attach each fuel line to its part's category, operating hours, and district-heating share, turning a bare fuel figure into a full picture of what an asset burns and how hard it runs. The other_gaseous_fuel and other_solid_fuel fields capture the long tail of fuels that do not fit the standard categories, so a fuel-demand model built on this data does not silently drop the unusual streams that matter for biomass and waste-derived fuels.

Cost guidance

One fuel_input_record per delivered line: cost = lines delivered × your plan's per-record price. Scope with fuelContains to keep runs bounded. The table is ~283,000 lines; 1,000 lines is $50 (Free) / $33.50 (Gold).

Honest limitations

• As filed. Energy figures are as reported in TJ; this actor reformats, it does not audit.
• Report-keyed. Each line carries its installation-part-report id; join to the combustion-part cell for category and operating hours.
• Acknowledge the EEA. The acknowledgement travels on every record.
• No person data of any kind.

Differentiation

Its specific job is the IED combustion fuel and energy input — fuel type and TJ, line by line.
