EnergyModelsCO2

EnergyModelsCO2 is a package extending EnergyModelsBase to model technologies from the CO₂ value chain. These technologies are

1. CO2Source :< Source, a source node that allows for CO₂ as output,
2. CO2Storage{T} <: Storage{T}, a storage node in which the stored CO₂ is accumulating over the strategic periods,
3. RefNetworkNodeRetrofit <: NetworkNodeWithRetrofit, a network node with the potential for retrofitting CO₂ capture, and
4. CCSRetroFit <: NetworkNode, a network node that corresponds to a CO₂ capture unit.

RefNetworkNodeRetrofit and CCSRetroFit have to be coupled to each other for proper functioning as they require a proxy resource for CO2. Further information can be found in the corresponding documentation.

Note: The stable docs are in the current version not working due to a mistake in the deploy. It will be updated in the next release.

Usage

The usage of the package is best illustrated through the commented examples. The examples are minimum working examples highlighting how to build simple energy system models.
