Methane Conversion Factors by MMS type and climate zone (Cool/Temperate/Warm).

Usage

climate_mcf

Format

A tibble with mms_type, climate_zone, mcf_percent.

Source

Predominantly the 2006 Guidelines, Vol 4, Ch 10, Table 10.17, not the 2019 Refinement, and with the same provenance profile as ipcc_2019_mcf_manure, which holds the same values under the Tier 1 system labels. Since whep#1022 this object is no longer the default the Tier 2 path reads: .calc_manure_ch4_tier2() weights the edition == "ipcc_2019" rows of climate_mcf_ipcc by the manure-system mix, and this table is reached only with mcf_source = "as_shipped". Verified against both editions:

  • Matching both: daily spread 0.1/0.5/1.0, solid storage 2.0/4.0/5.0, poultry manure 1.5 and burned for fuel 10.

  • The 2006 edition only: pasture/range/paddock 1.0/1.5/2.0, against a single 0.47 percent in the 2019 Refinement.

  • Derived from the 2006 per-degree rows, but not at the class bound: liquid/slurry 17/35/80 takes 35 from the 18 degree column rather than the 42 of 20 degrees, and anaerobic lagoon 66/73/80 takes 73 from the 14 degree column rather than the 78 of 20 degrees.

  • Matching neither edition: dry lot 1.5/2.5/4.0 (both give 1.0/1.5/2.0) and the single all-climate values for intensive-windrow composting 0.5 and passive-windrow composting 1.0, which both editions resolve by climate (2006 gives 0.5/1.0/1.5 for each; the 2019 Refinement 0.5/1.0/1.5 and 1.0/2.0/2.5). "Anaerobic Digester" 0 is published by neither: 2006 gives the range 0-100 percent and requires a calculation, the 2019 Refinement six leakage-and-storage classes spanning 1.00 to 13.17 percent. Assumed, unverified.

Only six of the eleven systems here are reachable on the live path: regional_mms_distribution routes manure to daily spread, solid storage, liquid/slurry, the anaerobic lagoon, pasture/range/paddock and poultry manure, and .calc_weighted_mcf() aborts on any label outside that set. So the dry-lot, composting and anaerobic-digester cells enter no published number today, and the four rows keyed climate_zone "All" are unreachable for a second reason: the MCF join is on (mms_type, climate_zone) and never asks for "All". The cells that both are live and depend on the edition are pasture/range/paddock, liquid/slurry and the anaerobic lagoon. climate_mcf_ipcc carries the as-published alternative for each and now supplies the default.

Tracked in whep#601 and whep#1022.
