The costs for purpose grown ligno-cellulosic biomass are the integral under the supplycurve. The supplycurves have been derived from MAgPIE
Total fuel costs for biomass
The first part, summing over peren2rlf30, represents costs for
biomass with fixed prices. The second part that includes
v30_pebiolc_costs represents costs for biomass with continous
supply curves from MAgPIE. In coupled runs v30_multcost is a
cost markup factor improving the convergence by penalizing large jumps
in the demand between two coupling iterations. It converges to 1 and
therefore does not affect the outcome. The last part, containing
pm_costsTradePeFinancial, represents additional tradecosts
(only for purpose grown lignocellulosic biomass).
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_costFuBio(ttot,regi) = \sum_{peren2rlf30(enty,rlf)}\left( p30\_datapebio(regi,enty,rlf,"cost",ttot) \cdot vm\_fuExtr(ttot,regi,enty,rlf)\right) + \left(v30\_pebiolc\_costs(ttot,regi) \cdot v30\_multcost(ttot,regi)\right)\$\left(sm\_magpieIter gt 0\right) + v30\_pebiolc\_costs(ttot,regi) \$\left(sm\_magpieIter eq 0\right) + \sum_{peren2cont30(enty,rlf)}\left( vm\_fuExtr(ttot,regi,enty,rlf) \cdot pm\_costsTradePeFinancial(regi,"use",enty)\right) \end{multline*}\]
MAgPIE EMULATOR: PRICE
This equation calculates the price for purpose grown lignocellulosic
biomass as a (linear) function of demand according to the supplycurve as
it was derived from MAgPIE. The equation is used by the shift factor
calculation in the preloop stage. In the main solve stage the price is
only used to apply the bioenergy tax. It contains optional shift and
scaling of supply curves in coupled runs.
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_pebiolc\_price(ttot,regi) = \left(v30\_priceshift(ttot,regi) + i30\_bioen\_price\_a(ttot,regi) + i30\_bioen\_price\_b(ttot,regi) \cdot \left(vm\_fuExtr(ttot,regi,"pebiolc","1") + sm\_eps\right) \right) \cdot v30\_pricemult(ttot,regi) \end{multline*}\]
MAgPIE EMULATOR: COST
Calculates bioenergy costs of purpose grown lignocellulosic biomass by
integrating the linear price supply curve (see above). It contains
optional shift and scaling of supply curves in coupled runs. The
equation is used both in preloop and main solve.
\[\begin{multline*} v30\_pebiolc\_costs(ttot,regi) = \left(v30\_priceshift(ttot,regi) + i30\_bioen\_price\_a(ttot,regi) +\frac{ i30\_bioen\_price\_b(ttot,regi) }{ 2 } \cdot \left(vm\_fuExtr(ttot,regi,"pebiolc","1") + sm\_eps\right) \right) \cdot v30\_pricemult(ttot,regi) \cdot vm\_fuExtr(ttot,regi,"pebiolc","1") \end{multline*}\]
Calculate shift factor for bioenergy costs
This applies in coupled runs only to shift the supplycurve according to
the price response of MAgPIE. The factor is computed by minimizing least
squares (v30_shift_r2) of price differences between actual
MAgPIE output (from coupled runs) and the supply curve (aka MAgPIE
emulator). It is solved in presolve (s30_switch_shiftcalc = 1)
and deactivated in main solve (s30_switch_shiftcalc = 0).
pm_ts is used as a weight factor, representing the time step
length.
\[\begin{multline*} v30\_shift\_r2 = \sum_{regi}\left( \sum_{ttot\$\left(ttot.val ge 2005 \& p30\_pebiolc\_pricemag(ttot,regi) gt 0\right)}\left( \left(\left(p30\_pebiolc\_pricemag(ttot,regi) - vm\_pebiolc\_price(ttot,regi)\right) \cdot pm\_ts(ttot)\right)^{2}\right)\right) \end{multline*}\]
Calculate cost markup factor for coupled runs
Improve convergence of the REMIND-MAgPIE coupling by penalizing
deviations from last coupling iteration. This applies in coupled runs
only to prevent large jumps in bioenergy demand between coupling
iterations. It penalizes deviations in the demand for purpose grown
bioenergy from the previous coupling iteration by increasing the costs
proportional to the deviation. The factor converges to 1, as the
difference between vm_fuExtr and pm_pebiolc_demandmag
vanishes when the coupling converges over iterations.
\[\begin{multline*} v30\_multcost(ttot,regi) = \left(\frac{\left(vm\_fuExtr(ttot,regi,"pebiolc","1")-pm\_pebiolc\_demandmag(ttot,regi)\right)}{ \left(pm\_pebiolc\_demandmag(ttot,regi) + 0.15\right)}\right)^{2} \cdot 0.4 + 1 \end{multline*}\]
Limit export of biomass
Only purpose grown lignocellulosic biomass may be exported, no
residues.
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_Xport(t,regi,"pebiolc") \leq vm\_fuExtr(t,regi,"pebiolc","1") \end{multline*}\]
** Limit BECCS ** To prevent regions with large carbon storage potential from demanding high amounts of biomass just because of their capacity to store negative emissions a general rule for all regions is applied that limits the PE demand of BECCS technologies to 50% of the total PE (see q30_limitTeBio)
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{pe2se(enty,enty2,teBio)\$teCCS(teBio)} vm\_demPe(t,regi,enty,enty2,teBio) \leq 0.5 \cdot p30\_demPe(t,regi) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v30\_BioPEProdTotal(t,regi) = \sum_{peren2rlf30(enty,rlf)}\left( vm\_fuExtr(t,regi,enty,rlf)\right) + \sum_{peren2cont30(enty,rlf)}\left( vm\_fuExtr(t,regi,enty,rlf)\right) \end{multline*}\]
