The REMIND CES tree cannot represent active modes, as they deliver valuable energy service demand without capital cost and final energy production.
Just filtering out the active modes energy service demand allocated by EDGE-Transport (as it was done so far) leads to inconsistencies between both models:
'E.g. REMIND would split the whole trn_pass energy service demand according to the FE shares and energy efficiencies reported by EDGE-T (without considering the active modes) and calculates a different FE value compared to EDGE-T that reserves a part of the trn_pass energy service demand to the active modes.
Solution: split and distribute the energy service demand of active modes across all technologies to calculate energy efficiency and capital cost per pkm.
Consequence: This leads to the fact that in REMIND energy service demand, energy efficiencies, an capital costs on technology level are rather abstract values that are not technically correct.
Hence, they should not be reported on technology level by REMIND (only by EDGE-T). The FE values on technology level are represented correctly as well as the energy service demand on CES node level.
The decision of the technology share is anyway made by EDGE-T and not by REMIND.
