|Description=Energy from primary sources often is first converted into secondary energy carriers that are more easily accessible for final consumption. Examples of such conversion processes relate to the production of electricity and hydrogen, oil products from crude oil in refineries, and the production of fuels from biomass. Electricity (and in the future possibly also hydrogen) is produced by the conversion of primary energy carriers, such as fossil fuels, fissile materials (uranium), and various renewable energy sources. Studies on transitions towards more sustainable energy systems tend to show the importance of these conversions for the future. | |Description=Energy from primary sources often is first converted into secondary energy carriers that are more easily accessible for final consumption.
