Energy Carriers are messy and have wrong attributes, clean up and update needed

[AlexanderWirtz]

Currently some energy carriers have attributes that seem to have been copied from other carriers. Only those attributes that are used have been updated, unused and wrong attributes have not been cleaned up. Also, further analysis means some numbers need to be updated.

Wood pellets:

• energy density and costs are same as wood: clearly need to be higher
• is not used for co-firing, instead 'biomass' is: this seems option of choice

Biomass:

• Yield and energy density same as for wood pellets: is this wood?
• Costs higher than for wood pellets and wood: ???

Wood:

• see above

Corn:

• costs and energy density for corn seem to be the same as for wood pellets
• yield needs to be updated: AW has new numbers

Manure:

• Note: yield, costs and energy density same as for wood pellets
• This does seem to be used!

Biogas:

• New numbers are available from Alexander, concerning yield per km2

Green gas:

• New numbers are available from Alexander, concerning yield per km2
• Has same yield per km2 as biogas. Energy losses for conversion of biogas to green gas seem to have mistakenly been omitted!

Biocoal:

• no attributes at all!

In general we will have to decide which attributes are CONVERTER-specific, and which are CARRIER-specific. We also need to document this better, because I still don't understand how the bio-footprint calculation works.

Biofuel also needs to be removed and replaced by the liquid biofuels that are relevant:

• bio-ethanol
• bio-diesel
• bio-oil(?)

@ChaelKruip Can we close this? it's etsource anyway

[ChaelKruip]

Closed this issue and opened it on etsource.
