Non energy costs in the Transportation sector #473

Closed Youyi77 closed 2 months ago

Youyi77 commented 2 months ago

Hi GCAM Team,

Under the transportation sector, I am wondering why the tab transport tech non-energy cost for each trn technology is higher than the costs of transport techs? I think the latter is the sum of non-energy costs and energy costs.

I assume that the cost of each technology = fuel costs + non-energy costs + any carbon penalties.

Thanks so much!

Good question!

The “transport tech non-energy cost” query displays the value that is read to the model, and the units are 1990$/veh-km (but has mis-reported units in the query).
The “cost of transport tech” query displays the value in per service-km units (1990$/pkm, 1990$/tkm).

Hi Patrick, thank you so much! It makes sense now.
