Carbon Efficiency

Crop yield per unit of greenhouse gas emitted.

carbon_efficiency(yield, carbon_emission, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

yield

Numeric vector. Crop yield (kg/ha).

carbon_emission

Numeric vector. Total GHG emission (kg CO2-eq/ha).

verbose

Logical. If TRUE, prints informational messages. Default TRUE.

Value

Numeric vector. Carbon efficiency (kg yield per kg CO2-eq). Higher values indicate more yield per unit emission.

Details

Formula: $$CE = \frac{Yield}{Carbon Footprint}$$

Examples

carbon_efficiency(yield = 4500, carbon_emission = 2500)
#> Carbon efficiency computed (kg/kg CO2-eq).
#> [1] 1.8
