Hi,
I couldn't find any options for different cooling energy source such as natural gas.
For my example building to apply eQUEST, the cooling is provided from a single ammonia absorption heat pump/chiller using natural gas to directly fire the ammonia absorption cycle and an air cooled condenser.
For that, I want to select natural gas as cooling energy source, but there isn't.
Any advise or comments are welcome.

Select an absorption chiller and assign it to a hot water boiler. Your natural gas energy will be assigned to the hot water boiler. The cooling from the absorption chiller will be driven by the hot water which is fueled by natural gas. So, in essence your cooling is natural gas fueled.
