Describe the Bug

The cost for CO₂ liquefaction in technology data refers to a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries cost from 2004. The investment cost in the 2030 output file is 16.7226 EUR/t_CO2/h. The Danish Energy Island reports in the data set “Technology Data for Carbon Capture, Transport and Storage” 411 Liquefaction for biogas plant retrofit an investment cost of 1.33 mill €/(tLCO2/h). The Mitsubishi cost seems very low. Are there any reason for not using the cost of the Danish Energy Agency?

Research direction

Compare the 2030 output file's CO₂ liquefaction investment cost with the Danish Energy Agency dataset cited in the issue, and trace which source currently supplies the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries value. Done means establishing whether the discrepancy is valid and documenting or updating the technology-data assumption accordingly.
