Calculate allocated greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)

Calculates the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) attributable to specific commodities by applying allocation shares to total herd-level emissions.

Usage

calc_allocated_emissions(value, allocation_share)

Arguments

value

Numeric. Total herd-level emissions by source before allocation to commodities (kg gas).

allocation_share

Numeric. Allocation share assigned to the commodity for the corresponding emission source (fraction).

Value

Numeric. Allocated emissions for each commodity–emission combination (kg gas).

Details

Allocation shares represent the fraction of total emissions assigned to each commodity (e.g., meat, milk, fibre). See run_allocation_module() for additional details.

Allocated emissions are calculated as:

$$value\_allocated = value \times allocation\_share$$

This function is part of the run_aggregation_module().
