**Note:** we had an issue with this plot, as in the first versions of the model
we where sourcing the technology emissions directly from the
`AnnualTechnologyEmission` file. However, at a later stage the model changed and
now the emissions needed to be calculated by `UseByTechnologyAnnual` *
`EmissionActivityRatio`.
