Some emission categories should be excluded from carbon tax #1933

Closed matthieu-foucault closed 3 years ago

Describe the Bug:

The carbon tax calculation only considers the fuel type, not the emission category. Not all emission categories are subject to carbon tax. Only General Stationary Combustion, Venting, Flaring and On-Site Transportation fuels should be carbon-taxed.

If CAS could point us to the legislation/policy related to this, it should be added to the table metadata, to ensure that anyone looking at it can understand where this comes from

Probability (1-5): 3

Effect (1-5): 3

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Create (or look at) an application when a fuel is reported with another category (e.g. Fugitive). When comparing with CAS's internal tool, we should see discrepancies

Additional information: To fix this, I would add a carbon-taxed column to the ggircs_portal.emission_category table, and use it in the ggircs_portal.application_revision_carbon_tax function.

Checked in the test environment, this looks good
