Crude displacement value

Each MWh of renewable generation avoids burning fuel in the thermal fleet, and part of that fuel is still crude, heavy fuel oil and diesel. The model values the avoided liquids at the oil price: generation × liquid-fired share × fuel per MWh at the chosen thermal efficiency ÷ 5.8 MMBtu per barrel. Change the three inputs to test scenarios.

Default share is the latest ECRA fuel mix: liquids were 43% of the fuel burned for power and desalination in 2019.
