Calculate ACM0001 baseline emissions

Estimates baseline greenhouse gas emissions assuming methane not destroyed by the project is released to the atmosphere, optionally accounting for methane oxidation in the landfill cover.

calculate_baseline_emissions_acm0001(
  methane_generation_m3,
  baseline_capture_efficiency = 0,
  oxidation_fraction = 0,
  methane_density_t_per_m3 = 0.000716,
  gwp_ch4 = 28
)

Arguments

methane_generation_m3

Methane generated during the period in cubic metres.

baseline_capture_efficiency

Fraction of methane captured in the baseline scenario.

oxidation_fraction

Fraction of methane oxidised in the landfill cover without the project.

methane_density_t_per_m3

Methane density in tonnes per cubic metre.

gwp_ch4

Global warming potential for methane.

Value

Numeric vector of baseline emissions in tonnes CO2e.
