Express methane destruction as CO2e under ACM0001

Combines methane mass destroyed with the methane global warming potential to return greenhouse gas benefits of ACM0001 destruction activities in tonnes CO2e.

calculate_methane_destruction_co2e_acm0001(
  methane_captured_m3,
  destruction_efficiency,
  methane_density_t_per_m3 = 0.000716,
  gwp_ch4 = 28
)

Arguments

methane_captured_m3

Methane captured by the project in cubic metres.

destruction_efficiency

Fraction of captured methane destroyed.

methane_density_t_per_m3

Methane density in tonnes per cubic metre.

gwp_ch4

Global warming potential of methane.

Value

Numeric vector of methane destruction expressed in tonnes CO2e.
