Computes energy intensity per tonne of ore processed (GRI 302-3) and, optionally, the renewable share of total energy consumption (GRI 302-1 / SASB EM-MM-130a.1).

Usage

calculate_energy_intensity(energy_gj, ore_processed_kt, renewable_gj = NULL)

Arguments

energy_gj

Numeric. Total energy consumed in gigajoules.

ore_processed_kt

Numeric. Ore processed in kilotonnes. Must be > 0.

renewable_gj

Numeric. Optional. Renewable energy consumed in GJ.

Value

A named list with metric, energy_intensity (GJ/t ore) and, when renewable_gj is supplied, renewable_share_percent.

Examples

calculate_energy_intensity(10449110, 18481, renewable_gj = 550000)
