Describe the Issue
The district heating supply mix is dominated by waste CHP plants that burn the non-sequestered HVC from naphtha production. This result was obtained using the default pypsa-de configuration (without biogenic municipal solid waste, but waste_to_energy turned to true) at a 9h-resolution & 27-cluster-resolution for "KN2045_Bal_v4".
2020 mix according to AGFW:

Research direction
Start with the default pypsa-de configuration and envs/environment.yaml; reproduce the 9h, 27-cluster KN2045_Bal_v4 result. Trace how waste_to_energy and non-sequestered HVC from naphtha production enter the district-heating mix, then compare it with the supplied AGFW 2020 reference. Done requires an agreed explanation or correction of the unexpected dominance.
