be provided as they are calculated endogenously by the model in all years after the
base year, so long as the model is in equilibrium mode. Equilibrium mode is active
as long as the ``maximum_iterations`` parameter in the settings file is greater than 1.

* For commodities that are **not produced by processes in the model**, and are not free, prices should be
provided for all years as they cannot be endogenously calculated.

* For **environmental** commodities, prices represent levies on production (e.g. carbon tax).
In most cases, these will not be calculated endogenously, so users should provide
full price trajectories. The exception is when using the carbon budget
mode, where the prices of environmental commodities may be updated throughout the simulation.
Lack of a price trajectory will be interpreted as a price of 0 for all periods (i.e. no levy on production),
again with the exception of the carbon budget mode.

Lack of a price trajectory for any commodity will be interpreted as a price of 0 for all periods (i.e. no cost to purchase, and no levy on production), again with the exception of the carbon budget mode.

Price trajectories should be stored in a CSV file with the structure shown in the
table below, and referenced from the TOML settings file using the ``projections`` key.
