Remove exclusion of heat as a fuel type that can power CCS #59

Closed jrissman closed 4 years ago

jrissman commented 4 years ago

The variable "Percentage of Energy by Fuel for CCS in Industry Sector" excludes heat as a fuel type that can be used to power CCS. This is very likely a mistake. The code should be simplified to no longer exclude heat. This is a small and quick change.

Also, in the "About" tab for input variable ccs/CC, note that any energy for CCS that comes from excess process heat (heat that would be available anyway and would not otherwise be used), as in iron & steel plants, should be excluded from ccs/CC/CC-EUpTCS. Also, change the meaning of that variable from "CCS Costs" to "CCS Calculations" (or similar, preserving the same acronymn, so we don't need filename changes, but to reflect the fact that it includes a non-cost sheet now).
