Description

We are having a low amount of DAC and other techs already in earlier years that should not be there. E.g. in 2020 there is electricity consuming capacity from DAC of 0.2 MW leading to a total consumption of 1.1 GWh. Similar for heat pump and resistive heater techs. It is not a lot but we might consider banning them until 2030?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Locate the model configuration or input data that permits DAC, heat pumps, and resistive heaters before 2030, then reproduce the 2020 values; done means those technologies are unavailable before 2030 and the resulting consumption is verified.
