OS:FuelFactors not translated to FuelFactors in idf file

I am trying to modify the default FuelFactors in openstudio. I have written a tool using openstudio sdk. It seems to be working fine in the .osm (it introduces OS:FuelFactors object in the .osm) but when I run the simulation the equivalent instance in the energyPlus file (FuelFactors,) is missing.

in.osm

in.idf

FuelFactors is not present in the in.idf file

Any clues? Thanks for your attention.

OS:FuelFactors won't be translated to idf unless you also have OS:Output:EnvironmentalImpactFactors and OS:EnvironmentalImpactFactors objects in the model, as those are the three objects EnergyPlus needs to perform the calculations and reporting.
