Industry Sector - Harmonizing with FORECAST #121

Open lindnemi opened 1 week ago

lindnemi commented 1 week ago

Following possibilities to harmonize FORECAST with PyPSA-Ariadne:

Take the production volumes from FORECAST

This would leave the industry sector from PyPSA-Eur mostly untouched. The same sector ratios (energy demands per produced unit) would be used to calculate final energy demand in the industrial sector. Problem: only small deviations between the scenarios from FORECAST since the production [Mt/yr] is expected to stay the same except for the Easy Ride and Low Demand scenarios.

Calculate FORECAST specific sector ratios for each year

The workflow in PyPSA-Eur would stay mostly the same, however the files industry_sector_ratios_{planning_horizon}.csv would change depending on the FORECAST results.

Alternative a)

Stay very closely to FORECAST and specify even the source of gas (biomass vs. natural gas) and liquids (biomass vs. petroleum vs synfuels).

Alternative b)

Give PyPSA-Ariadne more options to cover the demand by leaving it up to the model where e.g. the natural gas is coming from. The sectors do not match entirely between the JRC IDEES and the FORECAST model.

Taking Demands from FORECAST

Most invasive way is taking the final energy demand Final Energy|Industry|Carrier from FORECAST and setting it as a demand in PyPSA-Ariadne. We would outsource the modelling of the industrial sector completely and would allow PyPSA-Ariadne only how to supply hydrogen, gas etc.
