model.DMUs = data['Province']
model.x_vars = data[['K', 'L']]
model.y_vars = data[['Y']]
model.b_vars = data[['CO2']]
model.time = data['year']
model.g_x = model.x_vars*0
model.ref_type = 'Sequential'

# solve the model
model.solve()

# check the results
data['prod_ch'] = model.prod_ch
data['eff_ch'] = model.eff_ch
data['te_ch'] = model.te_ch
# the results are combind into the data set
