Consumption-based (embodied) emissions footprint using the column-normalised Kastner allocation in embodiedResourceKastner. Non-negative and closes globally to total emissions. Pollutants are aggregated to a single CO2-equivalent value per product (via unit); crop emissions are allocated through primary-equivalent trade, livestock emissions through direct trade.

Usage

embodiedEmissions(
  gdx,
  file = NULL,
  level = "reg",
  type = "all",
  unit = "GWP100AR6",
  bilateral = FALSE,
  secdToFeed = TRUE,
  reassignLivestock = TRUE
)

Arguments

gdx

GDX file

file

optional file name to write the result with write.magpie

level

regional aggregation level (only "reg" supported)

type

"production", "consumption", "trade", or "all" (default)

unit

GWP metric passed to productEmissions (default "GWP100AR6")

bilateral

logical; if TRUE return bilateral (exporter.importer) flows

secdToFeed

logical; if TRUE (default) move the processed-then-fed share (e.g. soybean -> oilcake -> feed) from the secd pathway to the feed pathway, so the Livestock pathway captures all crop products that end up as feed. See embodiedResourceKastner.

reassignLivestock

logical; if TRUE (default) move every livestock product's whole footprint into the feed (Livestock) pathway. See embodiedResourceKastner.

Value

MAgPIE object (region, year, accounting.pathway.product) in Mt CO2eq.
