onstove.LPG.transport_emissions#

LPG.transport_emissions(model: onstove.OnStove)[source]#

Calculates the emissions caused by the transportation of LPG. This is dependent on the diesel consumption of the truck. Diesel consumption is assumed to be 14 l/h (14 l/100km). Each truck is assumed to transport 2,000 kg LPG

Emissions intensities and diesel density are taken from [1].

The function uses the following attributes of model: energy, energy_content, travel_time and truck_capacity.

Parameters:

model: OnStove model: Instance of the OnStove model containing the main data of the study case. See onstove.OnStove.

Returns:

The total transport emissions that can be associated with each household in kg of CO2-eq per year.
