module_gcamusa_L171.nonghg_trn_USA

Description

Emissions factors for transportation by MARKAL technology in the USA

Usage

module_gcamusa_L171.nonghg_trn_USA(command, ...)

Arguments

command	API command to execute
...	other optional parameters, depending on command

Details

Emissions factors in Tg/million pass-km for transportation by MARKAL technology in the USA. In L171.nonco2_tgpkm_censusR_trn_SMarkal_F_V_Y, the evolution of EFs are computed with two different methods 1) For the future evolution of fleet EFs for vehicles existing in the base year, we account for each individual vintage degrading as they age, and older vintages retiring. 2) For the degradation of future year EFs, EFs are taken directly from MARKAL aside from a unit conversion. In L171.nonco2_tgpkm_state_trn_SMarkal_F_Y, EFs are computed with two different methods: 1) Base year EFs are the weighted means of the vintaged data using the age fractions as weights. 2) Future year EFs are taken directly from MARKAL for the year = vintage.

Value

Depends on command: either a vector of required inputs, a vector of output names, or (if command is "MAKE") all the generated outputs: L171.nonco2_tgpkm_censusR_trn_SMarkal_F_V_Y, L171.nonco2_tgpkm_state_trn_SMarkal_F_Y. The corresponding file in the original data system was LA171.nonCO2_trn_USA_S_T_Y.R (gcam-usa level1).
