Description
Feature Request
Through the opts wildcards, the user can select emission reduction targets compared to a base reference value. This reference value is provided by the user in the configuration file.
There is no reference to where this value comes from. Moreover, if you run only one interconnect, it is difficult to know what value to use without doing a deep search.
Suggested Solution
Maybe we should run an operational model for the base reference year for each interconnect region to get what these reference values should be? That way we also account for differences between actual and modelled emissions.
Additional Info
See here for info on the CO2L option in PyPSA-Eur. The documentation of which will be coming to PyPSA-USA soon!

Research direction
Start with workflow/config/config.default.yaml lines 84-91 and the opts wildcard configuration for CO2L. Review the linked PyPSA-Eur wildcard documentation and determine how baseline emissions should be calculated for each interconnect and reference year. Done means the source of the reference values is clear and the proposed operational-model approach is defined.
