Dataset for simulation of a low-carbon urban energy system using the Backbone model

<p>The dataset contains the input data for cost optimization of an urban energy system. The case study has been described in the article &quot;Impact of power-to-gas on the cost and design of the future low-carbon urban energy system&quot; of Applied Energy.</p> <p>The dataset is in Microsoft Excel format. To make it available for GAMS, one should use e.g. the attached shell script (requires GAMS installation) to convert it to *.gdx file. The generation expansion model is available in the Git repository https://gitlab.vtt.fi/backbone/backbone (under branch projik/planet).</p>

Biomass availability at NUTS3 level for modelling European energy system with 3 future scenario

<p>The database is built over three main sources</p> <ul> <li>S2Biom database from where most of the numbers come from <a title="S2Biom" href="https://s2biom.wenr.wur.nl/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(S2Biom original repo)</a></li> <li>ENSPRESO database that we use for few energy sources that are not part of s2biom (<a title="JRC" href="https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/collection/id-00138" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ENSPRESO</a>)</li> <li>National data for Switzerland (<a href="https://www.envidat.ch/dataset/swiss-biomass-potentials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FoReMA Forest Resources Management Insititute</a></li> </ul> <p>Data processing is done with Julia code that has short documentation and additional databasePipeline.pdf to understand how the dataset was built. To rebuild the dataset, refer to the github repository linked to this dataset.</p> <p>Data are available as a csv file and as a sqlite database. Data query methods are available from the Github repository linked to this dataset.</p> <p>The dataset includes biomass energy availability, expressed in PJ, at nuts 0-3 (NUTS 2013), and ENTSOE bidding zones aggregation. For each biomass source, the roadsidecost of each source is associated. While the biomass data is varied, large, and detailed following standards (ISO 17225-1:2021, ISO 17225-2:2021, ISO 17225-3:2021, ISO 17225-4:2021, ISO 17225-5:2021, ISO 17225-6:2021, ISO 17225-7:2021, ISO 18125:2017, EN 13556), biomass sources have been aggregated into three categories: Forestry, Agriculture, Organic waste. There are 3 bioenergy potential, low, medium, and high. These were based on the available data listed above.&nbsp;</p> <p>Note: Technical availability of biomass is often much higher than the current use. Check comparison_biofuel_amounts.xlsx to compare the potentials to actual use in Eurostat and IEA data. Full potential should often not be used, because of possible issues with biodiversity and land use emissions.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
