Household dependency on expensive or inefficient fuels may create affordability and environmental challenges, increasing vulnerability to energy poverty. The cost and efficiency of energy transformation vary significantly by fuel type, impacting both primary and final energy consumption levels. Regional differences in fuel access conditions and cultural fuel use patterns should also be considered. Cross-analysis with dwelling characteristics, energy efficiency, income, and thermal comfort indicators is recommended to assess the connection between fuel type and energy poverty vulnerability.
