Purpose of this PR
This PR introduces a new type of bioenergy tax. The new tax is based on an emission factor (EF) that can be read in via a switch, which is deactivated by default. The tax itself is calculated by multiplying the EF with the carbon price, resulting in a price markup per unit of bioenergy. The EF only informs the tax level, i.e. it does not affect emission fluxes. It can be read in on a regional level. A detailed description of this tax is found in the description of equation
q21_taxrevBio
.In order to distinguish this new tax from the already existing bioenergy tax, the old tax is renamed from
cm_bioenergy_tax
tocm_bioenergy_SustTax
as it is justified by general sustainability concerns, whereas the new EF-based tax only accounts for potential emissions that should be internalized.Summary of changes:

Comparison of results between different tax levels of the sustainability tax (
sustTax...
) and the EF tax (EFTax...
), can be found in the following compare scenarios PDF:/p/tmp/merfort/REMIND_development/remind/compScen-TEST_SustTax_EFTax_all-2022-10-12_10.26.47-H12.pdf
It can be seen that taxing bioenergy according to and EF of 20 kgCO/GJ has (on a global average) a very similar effect as if the sustainability tax is set to 1.5 in terms of bioenergy demand reduction (compare the two greenish lines):
