Description

Feature Request

build_demand.py line 2602-2608

    else:
        fuels = ("electricity", "heat", "cool", "space_heat", "water_heat")
        demands = demand_converter.prepare_multiple_demands(
            end_use,  # residential, commercial, industry, transport
            fuels,
            sns=sns,
        ) 

excludes "lpg" from the fuels for industrial demand, making the final industrial demand consist only of electricity and heat.

Suggested Solution

Maybe process industrial sector separately.

Research direction

Start in build_demand.py around lines 2602-2608 and inspect how fuels are selected for each end use and how demand_converter.prepare_multiple_demands processes them. Trace the industrial-demand path, then verify that the resulting industrial demand includes lpg alongside the existing fuels.
