This repo hosts an exploratory model of Stockholm Exergi AB's deployment of bioenergy cabon capture and storage (BECCS) in Stockholm, Sweden. The model.py file contains the investment decision model, and the view.py file contains different methods for analyzing the results. The controller.py file specifies and performs the complete analysis, when run in the terminal. The repo relies extensively on Rhodium [1] to perform the analysis.
First make a clone of the BECCS-Stockholm repository. Then install Rhodium in your Python environment (we use Anaconda, Python v.3.10.9).
The latest Rhodium code has not yet been made available on PyPi, but can be installed using:
pip install git+https://github.com/Project-Platypus/Rhodium@master#egg=Rhodium
Once it is made available on PyPi, install using:
pip install rhodium
(Not recommended) it is also possible to install a custom version of Rhodium from @ostenst's fork:
pip install git+https://github.com/ostenst/Rhodium@master#egg=Rhodium
To run the model, navigate to your BECCS-Stockholm directory and run controller.py in the terminal. If the model does not run, check other dependencies (e.g. Graphviz, numpy, numpy_financial, random, csv, openpyxl, matplotlib, Image). You can also check the Rhodium for more installation information. In the controller.py file, sample size can be lowered (e.g. to 10 000) for fast model evaluations.
