Implement a simplistic NG SMR converter

For ongoing AFFO work in Q2, we need to have a simplistic NG SMR converter in H2I.
This should receive an hourly NG profile and output hydrogen, alongside associated costs.
The config input file should accept conversion efficiency and cost scalers.

Proposed solution

Let's whip up a quick converter!
Maybe it could use some basic inputs like these:

Parameter Value Unit Notes
Mass Conversion 0.25 $kg_{H2} / kg_{NG}$ Inverse of 4.0 kg NG input per kg H2 output
Reference CAPEX 1,000 $/kW ($H_2$ out) Approx. $33,300 per (kg/hr) capacity
Fixed OPEX 4.0% % of CAPEX/yr Maintenance, labor, overhead
NG Price 5.00 $/MMBtu variable (approx $0.24/kg NG)
