Characteristics

Brighter Planet is performing this calculation based on the following characteristics of this motorcycle as provided in the request:

Characteristic Input Interpretation

Calculation

This calculation uses version 84177c7 of Brighter Planet's motorcycle carbon model.

Calculations are performed adaptively, so methodology will vary depending on motorcycle characteristics. Impact values, listed below, are based on a number of input factors, which in turn are based on others, and so forth. In each case, the methodology used in the calculation is specified, and, wherever possible, the source code of the method is displayed.

  1. Carbon

    Conclusion: 245.6 kg

    Method: from fuel.

    (fuel_consumed * emission_factor)
    
  2. Fuel consumed

    Conclusion: 99.93239281734861

    Method: from distance and fuel efficiency.

    (distance / fuel_efficiency)
    
  3. Emission factor

    Conclusion: 2.45717

    Method: from fuel.

    fuel.emission_factor
    
  4. Distance

    Conclusion: 2595.8718729914985

    Method: from annual distance.

    (annual_distance * (active_subtimeframe / timeframe.year))
    
  5. Fuel efficiency

    Conclusion: 25.97628056136014 km/l

    Method: default.

    base.fallback.fuel_efficiency
    
  6. Fuel

    Conclusion: regular gasoline

    Method: default.

    AutomobileFuel.find_by_code("R")
    
  7. Annual distance

    Conclusion: 2595.8718729914985

    Method: default.

    base.fallback.annual_distance_estimate
    
  8. Active subtimeframe

    Conclusion: 2012-01-01/2013-01-01

    Method: from acquisition and retirement.

    Timeframe.constrained_new(acquisition.to_date, retirement.to_date, timeframe)
    
  9. Acquisition

    Conclusion: 2012-01-01

    Method: from retirement.

    [timeframe.from, retirement].compact.min
    
  10. Retirement

    Conclusion: 2013-01-01

    Method: from acquisition.

    [timeframe.to, acquisition].compact.max
