Energy Productivity

Crop yield produced per unit of energy input.

energy_productivity(yield, energy_in, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

yield

Numeric vector. Crop yield (kg/ha).

energy_in

Numeric vector. Total energy input (MJ/ha).

verbose

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

Value

Numeric vector. Energy productivity (kg/MJ). Higher values indicate better yield per unit energy invested.

Details

Formula: $$EP = \frac{Yield}{Energy Input}$$

Examples

energy_productivity(yield = 4500, energy_in = 12000)
#> Energy productivity computed (kg/MJ).
#> [1] 0.375
