Description

The formulation should be extended to incorporate diffusion constraints that include multiple technologies or work across spatial or temporal scales.

See the following article for a previous implementation in MESSAGE:
Benjamin D. Leibowicz, Volker Krey, and Arnulf Grubler. Representing spatial technology diffusion in an energy system optimization model. Technological Forecasting and Social Change 103:350-363, 2015. [10.1016/j.techfore.2015.06.001](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.techfore.2015.06.001)

Research direction

Start by reading the issue and the cited Leibowicz, Krey, and Grubler article, which describes a previous MESSAGE implementation of spatial technology diffusion. Then locate the model formulation entry points and determine how technology groups and spatial or temporal scales are represented; done means the requested diffusion constraints are defined and covered by appropriate model validation.
