The total carbon budget for the entire transition path can be indicated in the `sector_opts <https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur-sec/blob/f13902510010b734c510c38c4cae99356f683058/config.default.yaml#L25>`_ in ``config.yaml``. The carbon budget can be split among the ``planning_horizons`` following an exponential or beta decay.
E.g. ``'cb40ex0'`` splits a carbon budget equal to 40 GtCO_2 following an exponential decay whose initial linear growth rate $r$ is zero.
E.g. ``'cb40ex0'`` splits a carbon budget equal to 40 Gt :math:`_{CO_2}` following an exponential decay whose initial linear growth rate r is zero.
They can also follow some user-specified path, if defined `here <https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur-sec/blob/413254e241fb37f55b41caba7264644805ad8e97/config.default.yaml#L56>`_.
The paper `Speed of technological transformations required in Europe to achieve different climate goals (2022) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2022.04.016>`__ defines CO_2 budgets corresponding to global temperature increases (1.5C – 2C) as response to the emissions. Here, global carbon budgets are converted to European budgets assuming equal-per capita distribution which translates into a 6.43% share for Europe. The carbon budgets are in this paper distributed throughout the transition paths assuming an exponential decay. Emissions e(t) in every year t are limited by

.. math::
e(t) = e_0 (1+ (r+m)t) e^(-mt)
e(t) = e_0 (1+ (r+m)t) e^{-mt}

where r is the initial linear growth rate, which here is assumed to be r=0, and the decay parameter m is determined by imposing the integral of the path to be equal to the budget for Europe. Following this approach, the CO_2 budget is defined. Following the same approach as in this paper, add the following to the ``scenario.sector_opts``

The Haber-Bosch process is not explicitly represented in the model, such that demand for ammonia enters the model as a demand for hydrogen ( 6.5 MWh :math:`_{H_2}` / t :math:`_{NH_3}` ) and electricity ( 1.17 MWh :math:`_{el}` /t :math:`_{NH_3}` ) (see `Wang et. al <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2018.04.017>`_). Today, natural gas dominates in Europe as the source for the hydrogen used in the Haber-Bosch process, but the model can choose among the various hydrogen supply options described in the hydrogen section (see :ref:`Hydrogen supply`)

The total production and specific energy consumption of chlorine and methanol is taken from a `DECHEMA report <https://dechema.de/dechema_media/Downloads/Positionspapiere/Technology_study_Low_carbon_energy_and_feedstock_for_the_European_chemical_industry.pdf>`_. According to this source, the production of chlorine amounts to 9.58 MtCl/a, which is assumed to require electricity at 3.6 MWh `:math:`_{el}`/t of chlorine and yield hydrogen at 0.937 MWh :math:`_{H_2}`/t of chlorine in the chloralkali process. The production of methanol adds up to 1.5 MtMeOH/a, requiring electricity at 0.167 MWh :math:`_{el}`/t of methanol and methane at 10.25 MWh :math:`_{CH_4}`/t of methanol.

The production of ammonia, methanol, and chlorine production is deducted from the JRC IDEES basic chemicals, leaving the production totals of high-value chemicals. For this, we assume that the liquid hydrocarbon feedstock comes from synthetic or fossil- origin naphtha (14 MWh :math:`_{naphtha}`/t of HVC, similar to `Lechtenböhmer et al <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2016.07.110>`_), ignoring the methanol-to-olefin route. Furthermore, we assume the following transformations of the energy-consuming processes in the production of plastics: the final energy consumption in steam processing is converted to methane since requires temperature above 500 °C (4.1 MWh :math:`_{CH_4}` /t of HVC, see `Rehfeldt et al. <https://doi.org/10.1007/s12053-017-9571-y>`_); and the remaining processes are electrified using the current efficiency of microwave for high-enthalpy heat processing, electric furnaces, electric process cooling and electric generic processes (2.85 MWh :math:`_{el}`/t of HVC).

The process emissions from feedstock in the chemical industry are as high as 0.369 t :math:`_{CO_2}`/t of ethylene equivalent. We consider process emissions for all the material output, which is a conservative approach since it assumes that all plastic-embedded :math:`CO_2` will eventually be released into the atmosphere. However, plastic disposal in landfilling will avoid, or at least delay, associated :math:`CO_2` emissions.

Circular economy practices drastically reduce the amount of primary feedstock needed for the production of plastics in the model (see `Kullmann et al. <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2022.124660>`_, `Meys et al. (2021) <https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abg9853>`_, `Meys et al. (2020) <https://doi.org/10/gmxv6z>`_, `Gu et al. <https://doi.org/10/gf8n9w>`_) and consequently, also the energy demands and level of process emission.
