I would like to create an emissions cap model. It says in the manual that you can add in an emission constraint- but I must be missing something since I can't really see that option in the model.
For example, I'd like to set an emission cap of 12,000 CO2-e. Is it possible to do this? I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.

The Annual Emissions Constraint variable is only visible if you are using LEAP to conduct least-cost optimization. The constraint would then cause LEAP to try to identify a solution within the optimized transformation module which keeps total emissions at or below the value you have set.
For further information, please have a quick look at these links:
