Purpose of this PR
Introduces an option to use updated values to calculate CH4 emission factors from fossil fuel extraction activities. This is controlled by a new flag:
Previous state:
FF extraction EFs are calculated from EDGAR 2005 baseline emissions and REMIND's own 2005 activity levels, see presolve.gms:66. CH4 emissions from fuel extraction are read from p_emiFossilFuelExtr.cs4r , which is generated by running calcEmiFossilFuelExtr.
Update:
The default is still unchanged. But setting
cm_emifacs_baseyear
to 2020 calibrates the emission factor that that year's REMIND activity levels and CEDS emission data instead.This PR is part of what's needed to address https://github.com/remindmodel/development_issues/issues/442. As other changes will be introduced to nonCO2 emissions, I believe it's best to only fully switch over to the updated implementations after the other changes are introduced, and validate them as one.

PkBudg scenarios had INFES, but they seem unrelated and were experienced by others around the same time, so I believe this PR is not causing them.
Overall, the derived emission factors lead to lower FF CH4 emissions than before. The ratios between fuels also change, but except for USA, all regions end up with lower emissions after mid-century in NPi.
