Metal Emissions
Description
This function calculates the emissions produced from different metal sources based on the specified inputs. It considers emissions from primary material production and waste disposal of various metal types.
Usage
metal_emissions(
aluminuim_cans = 0,
aluminuim_foil = 0,
mixed_cans = 0,
scrap = 0,
steel_cans = 0,
aluminuim_cans_WD = 0,
aluminuim_foil_WD = 0,
mixed_cans_WD = 0,
scrap_WD = 0,
steel_cans_WD = 0,
waste_disposal = c("Closed-loop", "Combustion", "Landfill", "Open-loop"),
units = c("kg", "tonnes")
)
Arguments

aluminuim_foil |
Numeric value indicating the weight of aluminum foil. Default is |
mixed_cans |
Numeric value indicating the weight of mixed metal cans. Default is |
scrap |
Numeric value indicating the weight of metal scrap. Default is |
steel_cans |
Numeric value indicating the weight of steel cans. Default is |
aluminuim_cans_WD |
Numeric value indicating the weight of aluminum cans disposed of using waste disposal methods. Default is |
aluminuim_foil_WD |
Numeric value indicating the weight of aluminum foil disposed of using waste disposal methods. Default is |
mixed_cans_WD |
Numeric value indicating the weight of mixed metal cans disposed of using waste disposal methods. Default is |
scrap_WD |
Numeric value indicating the weight of metal scrap disposed of using waste disposal methods. Default is |
steel_cans_WD |
Numeric value indicating the weight of steel cans disposed of using waste disposal methods. Default is |
waste_disposal |
Character vector specifying the waste disposal method to use for calculating emissions. Possible values: "Closed-loop", "Combustion", "Landfill", "Open-loop". Default is "Closed-loop".
|
units |
Character vector specifying the units of the emissions output. Possible values: "kg", "tonnes". Default is "kg". |
Value
The function returns the calculated CO2-equivalent emissions as a numeric value in tonnes.
