[[File:Standard_Results.png|thumb|left|Standard Process Results]]<br>
====Emissions Results====
 
*Emissions All  Included :<br> They represent the "Balance" of the process, or "whatever was released in the athmosphere to get that amount of output". Emission wise it include all the emissions associated to the technologies, the fuel upstream, the upstream from the previous processes in the pathway, and the special emissions like [[Full_User's_Manual#Adding_Static_Emissions|static emissions]], [[Stationary_Process_Calculations#Converting_the_Group_to_inputs|group emissions]], ratio emissions. It also includes the benefits if there is any credit or co-product in the process.
*Emission OnSite + Partial Upstream: <br>
These emissions are the sum of the technologies emissions and the upstream associated to the inputs materials coming from a [[Materials_Calculations#Source|material Source]] and the upstream of the input defined by a share. Basically this represents the emissions part of the <math>InputsFromMixAndUpstream</math> defined in [[AProcess_Calculations#Summing_up_all_the_inputs|the calculations above]].
*Emissions OnSite without any upstream :<br>
Here we only account the total emissions coming out of this process technologies. No upstream is accounted.
*Losses Emissions :<br>
The losses emissions are the sum of all the losses for that process. The losses are defined with a leakage or a boiloff on any input/output. The amount of material lost is then converted to an amount gas. In order to know which material gets converted into which gas, we are looking in the Materials database.
*Other Emissions :<br>
The other emissions sums up the [[AProcess_Calculations#Summing_up_the_static_emissions|static process emissions]], [[Stationary_Process_Calculations#Converting_the_Group_to_inputs|the group emissions]] and the [[IO_calculations#Ratio_Emissions_Calculations|ratio emissions]].
*Adjustment Emissions :<br>
For information this shows the necessary adjument made on the total emissions amount to respect the [[Min_max_process_emissions|min and max emissions]].
*Credit Emissions :<br>
The Credit emissions are the sum of all the emissions of the Credits for that process.
 
====Energy Results====
*Energy All Included : <br>
This shows whatever was necessary to produce the desired output amount of material. It Includes all the upstream up to this process. This set of values will also include the upstream of the input coming from the previous processes in the pathway. If the process is the last of a pathway, then the values showed here will be the calculated results for the pathway.
*Energy OnSite + Mixes Upstream : <br>
Those results are not including the upstream of the input coming from the previous processes, therefore those values are comparable to the GREET Excel results for a process. However we do not remove the energy content of the main output from that dictionary, that's why for many processes the result displayed here will be higher than what is found in excel, but in most of the cases, we just have to remove 1,000,000 to be able to compare the values.
*Energy OnSite without any upstream: <br>
This set of energy results shows only the energy used by the inputs, but do not account for any upstream.
*Losses Energy: <br>
The losses energy are based on the losses amounts. Then if the material lost can be converted to an energy amount, we show here how much of it was lost. If the amount is not convertible to an energy amount, we will show here the amount lost in mass or volume unit.
*Credits Energy: <br>
The credits energy are based on the credit amounts.
 
====General Information====
*Id :<br>
ID represents the ID of the selected process in the database.
*Name :<br>
The Name of the process in the database.

Pathways and Mixes (WTP)

The well to pump results allow viewing and comparing the energy usage and emission results for each of the pathways in each of the mixes for a LDV fuel.

Well to pump results in table format

The tabular version of the results displays the energy usage and emissions for each pathway as well as the weighted average of the values based on the share of each pathway. The pathways that are displayed depends on what is selected on the left material selection control. Hold shift or control and then select another pathway to choose which pathways are shown. If the resulting material is selected then each pathway within each mix is displayed on the right as well as the weighted results for the mix. The column header represents this by starting with either "PATH" for pathway results or "SRC" for the mix results. Selecting a single pathway will display the energy used and emissions for each process within the pathway each denoted by "PROC" in the result table. The results can be exported by right clicking and selecting "Copy to Clipboard" or "Save to XML File". Once copied the results can either be pasted into Excel or a text editor.
