petroleum_upstream.py

Description: This module generates the total annual upstream (extraction, transport, and refining) petroleum emissions for each petroleum power plant in EIA923.

• Using LCA information for impacts of DFO and RFO fuel types in the various PADD regions, this module populates a dataframe (merged_inventory) with data on impact flows of each individual petroleum plant in the EIA923 database.

Functions:

• generate_petroleum_upstream(year) - All content in this module is contained within this function.
• Calls read_eia923_fuel_receipts(year)

Data:

• EIA-923 - The survey Form EIA-923 collects detailed electric power data -- monthly and annually -- on electricity generation, fuel consumption, fossil fuel stocks, and receipts at the power plant and prime mover level (EIA)
• eia_fuel_receipts_df - Dataframe generated by the read_eia923_fuel_receipts function. Contains information about fuel quantity and average heat content for all EIA923 facilities, discretized by month and fuel type.
• state_padd.csv - A mapping of states (and District of Columbia) to the PADD region they source petroleum from.
• petroleum_inventory - This folder contains UPs for both Bunker and Diesel types of petroleum for all five PADD regions in the US.
