⚡ Electricity bus — solved together Power → generates Heat ← HP / e-boiler E-fuels ← electrolysis · DAC Transport ⇄ charging · V2G

H₂ coupling — E-fuels → Heat (H₂ boiler) · E-fuels → Transport (hydrogen fleets)  ·  CHP Power ↔ Heat

Systems or zones
Zone A ═ transmission · H₂ pipeline ═ Zone B ═ transmission · H₂ pipeline ═ Zone … → external trade

The structure above is solved for each system or zone; any number of zones can be linked by transmission lines and H₂ pipelines, with optional external trade at the boundary.
