batch_predict_emissions

Prediction entry point for batch SME and Farms emissions

Predict Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions for UK Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), using Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes and annual turnover data, as well as Scope 1 carbon emissions for UK farms. The 'carbonpredict' package provides single and batch prediction, plotting, and workflow tools for carbon accounting and reporting. The package utilises pre-trained models, leveraging rich classified transaction data to accurately predict Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions for UK SMEs as well as identifying emissions hotspots. It also provides Scope 1 carbon emissions predictions for UK farms of types: Cereals ex. rice, Dairy, Mixed farming, Sheep and goats, Cattle & buffaloes, Poultry, Animal production and Support for crop production. The methodology used to produce the estimates in this package is fully detailed in the following peer-reviewed publications: Phillpotts, A., Owen. A., Norman, J., Trendl, A., Gathergood, J., Jobst, Norbert., Leake, D. (2025) <doi:10.1111/jiec.70106> "Bridging the SME Reporting Gap: A New Model for Predicting Scope 1 and 2 Emissions" and Wells, J., Trendl, A., Owen, A., Barrett, J., Gridley, J., Jobst, N., Leake, D.

batch_predict_emissions function

<dl><dt>data</dt>
<dd>A single entry (list or named vector), a data frame, or a path to a CSV file. The data should contain company_name, 2-digit UK sic_code, and annual turnover columns.</dd>
<dt>output_path</dt>
<dd>Optional file path to save the results as a CSV. If NULL, results are not saved to a file.</dd>
<dt>company_type</dt>
<dd>A single parameter "sme" or "farm" to determine which emission prediction functions to call (defaults to "sme").</dd></dl>
