fuel_to_co2

Simple conversion assuming a factor of 2.61 kg CO2 / l diesel fuel

A simulation model and accompanying functions that support
assessing silvicultural concepts on the forest estate level with a focus on
the CO2 uptake by wood growth and CO2 emissions by forest operations. For
achieving this, a virtual forest estate area is split into the areas covered
by typical phases of the silvicultural concept of interest. Given initial
area shares of these phases, the dynamics of these areas is simulated. The
typical carbon stocks and flows which are known for all phases are
attributed post-hoc to the areas and upscaled to the estate level. CO2
emissions by forest operations are estimated based on the amounts and
dimensions of the harvested timber. Probabilities of damage events are taken
into account.
