Electricity and market vs. location-based emissions

Implementation by Carbon+Alt+Delete

For the AiB, the implementation on the market and location based mixes looks like:

Mix Market-based Location-based
Country average mix Supplier Mix Production Mix
Residual mix (no green electricity contract) Residual Mix Production Mix
Green electricity contract Set to 0 Production Mix

Production mix is the only data in the AIB source that does not use Guarantees of Origin (GOs); and therefore the only one that does not use market mechanism (=good for location-based).

Supplier Mix considers the average mix in a country taking into account GO trades, so that is a good reference for Country Average - Market based.

Residual Mix is per definition the energy left in a country after GO's are taken into account (after Green electricity is sold off). So that is Grey - Market based per definition.

Green electricity is set to 0 per definition.
