Calculates the contribution of an individual feed component to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from peatland drainage in feed production, using feed-specific emission factors weighted by the component's share in the ration.

Usage

calc_co2_ration_luc_peat(feed_ration_fraction, co2_feed_luc_peat)

Arguments

feed_ration_fraction

Numeric. Proportion of a specific feed component in the total ration, expressed as its fraction of diet dry matter intake (fraction). Within each herd_id and cohort, proportions should sum to 1.

co2_feed_luc_peat

Numeric. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission factor of a feed component, representing CO2 emissions from peatland drainage in feed production, expressed per kilogram of dry matter intake (g CO2/kg DM).

Value

Numeric. Contribution of an individual feed component to the diet-level average carbon dioxide (CO2) emission factor from peatland drainage in feed production (g CO2/kg DM).

Details

The contribution is computed as:

$$diet\_co2\_feed\_luc\_peat = feed\_ration\_fraction \times co2\_feed\_luc\_peat$$

This function is part of the run_emissions_ration_module().
