Description
See https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-de/pull/52. Some minor issues with the carbon balance in the exporter could not be completly eliminated before publication of the report:
- efuel -> CC should be corrected with oil_fossil_fraction
- small refactor to use
co2_storedmore consistently for above causes - add back in the asserts that were disabled to get to exports faster
- Are fossil CC really treated as neutral, or is there more that should be subtracted?
- Figure out remaining difference of 5-10 Mt compared to Ariade accounting, to get to an equal CO2 balance
- Consider Carbon Sequestration in Emissions|CO2 (as well as FOLU?)

Research direction
Review pull request #52 and the exporter changes it discusses. Work through the listed carbon-balance questions, including oil_fossil_fraction, co2_stored, disabled asserts, fossil CC treatment, and the 5–10 Mt difference from Ariadne accounting. Done means the remaining discrepancies are explained or corrected and the carbon balance agrees with the intended accounting scope.
