Purpose of this PR

This adapts the adjustment cost parameters of the h22ch4, MeOH (h2-to-liquids), elh2 and geohe technologies to better reflect up scaling dynamics. See here for plots and discussion.

(Make sure to delete from the Type-of-change list the items not relevant to your PR)

  • Minor change (default scenarios show only small differences)

Checklist:

  • My code follows the coding etiquette

  • I explained my changes within the PR, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
  • I checked that the in-code documentation is up-to-date
  • I adjusted the reporting in remind2 where it was needed
  • I adjusted forbiddenColumnNames in readCheckScenarioConfig.R in case the PR leads to deprecated switches
  • All automated model tests pass (FAIL 0 in the output of make test)
  • The changelog CHANGELOG.md has been updated correctly

not sure about this - the coal2h/bio2h have lower adjustment costs - I would think that electrolyzers seem a cleaner/more modular/less "heavy chemistry" technology than coal2h/bio2h?
so I would only go to 0.5 or so.
but maybe I am overlooking something?

Alright. I see the point. I went for coefficient 0.5 (double default) and seed 0.5 (half default). That should be fine. I would not go lower for now as the it needed some increase with the current CAPEX to not be above feasibility benchmarks for 2030, which we saw, for instance, in Ariadne. We might want to reassess after potential CAPEX updates for electrolysis and the BtL/GtL etc. technologies.

…imilarly seed is half of default) such that it is not higher than BtL, FT-synthesis technologies etc.
