Computes Scope 1 + Scope 2 greenhouse-gas emissions intensity per tonne of ore processed, following the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and GRI 305-4 / SASB EM-MM-110a.1 disclosure conventions.

Usage

calculate_ghg_intensity(scope1_t, scope2_t, ore_processed_kt)

Arguments

scope1_t

Numeric. Direct (Scope 1) emissions in tonnes CO2e.

scope2_t

Numeric. Energy-indirect (Scope 2) emissions in tonnes CO2e.

ore_processed_kt

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

Value

A named list with metric, total_emissions_t, ghg_intensity (tCO2e/kt ore), and scope1_share_percent.

Details

Intensity is calculated as: $$(scope1\_t + scope2\_t) / (ore\_processed\_kt)$$ expressed as tCO2e per kilotonne of ore.
