Missing Final Energy|Transportation|Liquids #102

The variable Final Energy|Liquids is ~360 PJ lower compared to Remind. This is mostly due to the discrepancy between Final Energy|Liquids|Transportation| and reality. The initial data in PyPSA-Eur (see pop_weighted_energy_totals_s_{nodes}.csv) is correct. The subcategories total road and non electricity rail add up to 618TWh = 2224.8 PJ. Together with the subcategories domestic aviation = 10.5 TWh and domestic navigation = 3.4TWh this adds to 2274 PJ which is only 40 PJ shy of what Remind is exporting. The conversion steps to kilometers traveled and then to a oil load leads to a loss of 357 PJ in demand.

Real values e.g. taken from DLR

@lisazeyen pointed out that transport_ice_efficiency: 16.0712 # 1 MWh_oil = 16.0712 * 100 km is set for LDV. This assumes too high efficiency for heavy duty. We could try to adjust the efficiency according to HDV/LDV share

this would be another setting that we change in build_scenarios.py
