TeachMeFinance.com - explain Indirect uses (end-use category) Indirect uses (end-use category) The term 'Indirect uses (end-use category)' as it applies to the area of energy can be defined as ' The end-use category that handles boiler fuel. Fuel in boilers is transformed into another useful energy source, steam or hot water, which is in turn used in other end uses, such as process or space heating or electricity generation. Manufacturers find measuring quantities of steam as it passes through to various end uses especially difficult because variations in both temperature and pressure affect energy content. Thus,the MECS (an EIA survey) does not present end-use estimates of steam or hot water and shows only the amount of the fuel used in the boiler to produce those secondary energy sources'.
