A very high (17 TWh) demand for solid biomass in industry is observed. Tracking it down shows that a high demand of Petroleum Coke is attributed to biomass here:

@hazemakhalek do you have an idea to solve the issue? Attribute e.g. Petroleum Coke to oil? @cschau-ieg this is highly relevant for your high biomass demands I guess, if your using this workflow.
