Calculate baseline emissions (Equation 2) — calculate_baseline

Implements Equation (2) of AMS-I.B by multiplying the baseline energy content by the applicable fossil fuel emission factor.

calculate_baseline_emissions(
  energy_data,
  energy_col = "baseline_energy_mj",
  emission_factor,
  output_col = "baseline_emissions_tco2e"
)

Arguments

energy_data: A tibble, typically the output of calculate_baseline_energy_content().
energy_col: Name of the column containing baseline energy in MJ.
emission_factor: Baseline emission factor in tCO2e/MJ. Supply either a single value applied to all rows or a vector matching the number of rows.
output_col: Name of the resulting column containing baseline emissions in tCO2e.

Value

A tibble with baseline emissions in tCO2e.

Examples

baseline_energy <- tibble::tibble(baseline_energy_mj = c(10000, 12000))
calculate_baseline_emissions(baseline_energy, emission_factor = 0.00007)
#> Error in calculate_baseline_emissions(baseline_energy, emission_factor = 7e-05): unused argument (emission_factor = 7e-05)
