Description

Implement endogenous fuel choice in shipping between Fischer-Tropsch, fossil oil, methanol, ammonia, LH2.

Given little representation spatial distribution of shipping demand (currently population-weighted):

  • Option A: research all the ports and distribute country-level loads according to material turnover
  • Option B: implement shipping demands as "copperplate" (i.e. single bus with demands and links to fuel sources)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current population-weighted representation of shipping demand and how shipping links to fuel sources. Compare the proposed port-level material-turnover approach with the copperplate alternative; the work is done when shipping can choose endogenously among Fischer-Tropsch, fossil oil, methanol, ammonia, and LH2.
