Dear all,
I am want to set the Iron and Steel (IIS) sector of my model carbon neutral, which means this sector can rely on negative emissions generated by the sector itself. The problem is, I didn't think of disaggregating the emissions due to the IIS sector in the first place, so they are now aggregated into the commodity representing the industrial CO2 emissions (INDCO2N and INDCO2P), including those from cement, alumina, etc.
I a first attempt, I tried to set the attached UC which instructs every process of the IIS sector to emit zero CO2. But it's not what I want. What I want is that the emissions of the whole sector equal zero, so some emissions of certain processes can be offset by others.
My question is: are there some tricks in the declaration of UCs to instruct to model that the overall CO2 emitted by a specific sector equals 0 - but not necessarily for every single process of the sector?
If not, I'm afraid I will need to disaggregate the emissions of the IIS sector, unless you guys have a better idea.
Thanks,
Lucas
