Estimation

The estimation response model is returned in a variety of estimation-related endpoints.

The model contains the total amount of emissions in kgCO2e, and includes the emission factor used for the calculation.

Attribute	Description
co2e	Emission factor carbon dioxide equivalent.
co2e_unit	The unit in which the co2e field is expressed.
co2e_calculation_method	Which calculation methodology that was used.
co2e_calculation_origin	Whether the data source or earthemission made the calculation.
emission_factor	The emission factor that was used for the calculation.
constituent_gases	Indicates which constituent gases the emission factor is composed of.
audit_trail	Indicates whether Audit trail was enabled for this request.
activity_data	Indicates the parameters which were multiplied by the factor to estimate emissions.
