Value Added Modeling

[JozefO]

Dear forum i m struggling with one issue.

Small Industry which does not belong to ETS (Emission trading system)  better known as ESR Category (Effort Sharing Regulation) represent thousands of small and medium facilities producing different kinds of goods, and combusting in the overwhelming majority NRG Comm (Natural Gas = 3.8 PJ annual).  Combustion emits Air pollutants  ENV (PM 2.5, SOX, NOX, TOC...) and Green House Gasses ENV (CO2, CH4, N2O).

ESR Category represent different sectors like: Iron and steel, Mineral industry, Chemicals or Food processing. 
For this purpose we have sectoral value added for first scenario to the year 2050.  

Indicator                      - Unit -              -Sector-                         2015         2020         2025         2030       2035       2040       2045       2050
Sectoral Value Added      Milion Eur         Food, drink, tobacco       1 011.5       1 222.5      1 256.6      1 452.0    1 420.0    1 600.5    1 566.4    1 565.5

It is not possible to have every single facility producing some kind of (food processing) goods with all its inputs. So my question: Is it possible to have this sector (ESR - Food, drink, tobacco) linked to the (added value M€ ) of the given sector with current fuel consumption and emission production ? How to model it ?

Thank you very much.

Such a linking has been done in the TIMES-MACRO variant; see the documentation. That should give you some ideas how to model it.
