historical.mif: improve data (SE, FE) #441

Open robertpietzcker opened 1 year ago

robertpietzcker commented 1 year ago

The latest historical.mif misses a number of relevant SE/FE variables that should be available from the IEA energy balances:

  1. SE|Gases
  2. SE|Liquids
  3. SE|Heat
  4. SE|Solids
  5. FE|Industry|Gases
  6. FE|Industry|Liquids
  7. FE|Industry|Solids

it would be great if they could be added :-)

Have these variables been available before in historical.mif and went missing with recent changes?

robertpietzcker commented 1 year ago

For some I think yes, for others only the subcomponents (SE|Gases|Biomass, SE|Gases|Fossil|Coal, SE|Gases|Fossil|Natural Gas) existed, so they would have to be added up

As of rev6.58: image

Right, the FE|Industry variables mentioned should be available. If you are missing them, it is most likely related to https://github.com/pik-piam/mrremind/issues/442

This plots supports my description, right? namely that somehow the subvariables are reported, but the aggregation is missing and needs to be added

fbenke-pik commented 1 year ago

Right, my bad. For me, the coloring makes it hard to tell the difference for example between FE|Industry|Gases and FE|Industry|Solids|Fossil. So i confused the aggregated variables with the subvariables.

REMIND seems to currently use inputdata revision 6.544 as a default, for which i can confirm that the historical.mif is broken. Concerning rev6.58: The data seems to be in the historical.mif. For example, I can find FE|Industry|Gases in rev6.58_62eff8f7_validationremind.tgz
