Technology emissions (upstream emissions)

[Burcu U.]

Hello!
I seek help regarding my model which can be summarized as follows:

- The model focuses on the heating sector of a single city.
- The model is run up until 2050 and the model has only one region.

Issue that I need help with:

We aim to incorporate into the model the capability to account for upstream emissions, specifically those related to the production of energy generation units. Thus, we need to integrate emission factors representing the emissions per unit of installed capacity (in kgCO2/MW).

I include a sample file in the post with LCA data for a couple of energy generation units. In column F of the file, you'll find the kgCO2/MW values for certain technologies extracted from the database. Our goal is to link this information to the technologies in the SubRES file (sample file included).

Could you please provide guidance on the best approach to implement this? Additionally, could you offer an example of a table outlining the necessary attributes and parameters?

Furthermore, I'm open to suggestions: Is there a more effective way to represent upstream emissions from these technologies?

Thank you!
