Add capacity expansion limits for biomass and geothermal. #107

Open trevorb1 opened 2 years ago

trevorb1 commented 2 years ago

With pr #102 we introduced a zero global geothermal capacity expansion limit, as it was clearly being overvalued. As from the pr thread...

It would be useful to set up a file of domestic fuel reserves by country. I imagine the IEA must have something on these lines.

We should check if we can find country level fuel reserves, and use that to set capacity expansion limits on a technological and regional level.

Also relevant for biomass see #104.

Hey @maartenbrinkerink, I have used the Geothermal potential from this paper (see supplementary data for national potentials) in building on PLEXOS World. You might find it useful for this.

maartenbrinkerink commented 2 months ago

Much appreciated @DuncanDotPY! In PLEXOS World did you downscale it further to regional level or kept it as a national constraint?

DuncanDotPY commented 2 months ago

I kept it national - but the source linked above does actually provide it at regional level for many of the sub-national regions e.g. China, Russia, but not all regions, e.g. Australia).
