fuel_to_co2 {care4cmodel}

Convert Fuel Consumption into CO2 Emission

Description

Simple conversion assuming a factor of 2.61 kg CO2 / l diesel fuel

Usage

fuel_to_co2(fuel_cons_ltrs, fuel_type = c("diesel"))

Arguments

fuel_cons_ltrs

Fuel amount consumed by a harvester in liters.

fuel_type

Fuel type (character string), required to find the correct conversion factor. Currently, only "diesel" is accepted.

Value

The emitted amount of CO2 in kg coming form burning fuel_cons_ltrs

Examples

  dbh  <- seq(20, 70, 10) # Vector of tree dbh in cm
  vol  <- dbh ^ 2 / 1000  # Simple Volume estimate (m³) with Denzin's formula

  fuel_cons_harvester_1(vol, dbh) |>
