calculate-regional-emissions
Resolve a regional emission factor and calculate emissions for a quantity.
Lists datasets of the requested type, finds the record matching region, category, and year, reads the record to capture its emission factor and unit, and submits a calculation for the supplied quantity.
1
findDataset
getDatasets
List the datasets of the requested impact type and take the first. Each dataset names its data provider and version, which is what makes the resulting number auditable.
2
findRecord
getRecords
Find the emission record for the target region, category, and year. Emission factors are strongly regional, so a factor from the wrong grid or the wrong year is simply the wrong answer.
3
readRecord
getRecord
Read the record to capture the emission factor, its unit, and the unit the quantity must be expressed in before any calculation is submitted.
4
calculate
calculateEmissions
Calculate total emissions for the quantity against the resolved record, passing the unit the record itself declares so the arithmetic cannot be done against a mismatched unit.
