Purpose of this PR

This addresses the issue on carbon flows in the energy system. It is related to #1876.

In particular, this PR adapts the CO2 capture rates of different X-to-Liquids and X-Gases technologies assuming that only 10% of the input carbon are lost (vented) during the gasification / syngas production step (consistent with X-to-H2 w/ capture technologies) and only 5% are lost during the follow-up step of FT-synthesis or methanation. This changes co2 capture rates as follows:

  • increase bioftcrec: capture rate to 14.6 GtC/ZJ: 58% of carbon input
  • increase biogasc capture rate to 14.1 GtC/ZJ: 56% of carbon input
  • decrease coalftcrec capture rate to 15.8 GtC/ZJ (60%)
  • decrease gasftcrec capture rate to 0.2 GtC/ZJ (1.3%)

CCU technologies (synthetic liquids and synthetic gas production) now also see carbon efficiency of 95%, i.e. 5% of captured carbon does not end up in output fuel.

Moreover, costs of some of the technologies are modified.

  • CAPEX/OPEX of synthetic liquids and synthetic gas technologies back to original parameterization based on Agora (2018)
  • slightly lower bioftcrec CAPEX in line with Liu et al.
  • lower gasftrec/gasftcrec CAPEX in line with assumptions for Coal-to-Liquids / Gas-to-H2 technologies

Please see issue for comparison plots of results.
