# Because only part of the energy can be extracted in the form of secondary energy carriers (fuel, electricity), due to limited conversion efficiency and maximum power density, part of the geographical potential cannot be used. This result of accounting for these conversion efficiencies is called the technical potential. | # Because only part of the energy can be extracted in the form of secondary energy carriers (fuel, electricity), due to limited conversion efficiency and maximum power density, part of the geographical potential cannot be used.

# The final step is to relate this technical potential to on-site production costs. Information at grid level is then sorted and used as supply cost curves, to reflect the assumption that the lowest cost locations are exploited first. Supply cost curves are used dynamically and change over time as a result of the learning effect. | # The final step is to relate this technical potential to on-site production costs.
