Ecology and environment calculators estimate carbon footprints from transport, diet, home energy, and consumption, helping individuals understand and reduce their environmental impact.

Formel

Carbon footprint = Σ (Activity amount × Emission factor)

Trin-for-trin guide

  1. 1Carbon footprint = Σ (Activity amount × Emission factor)
  2. 2Transport: car, plane, train each have kg CO₂e/km factors
  3. 3Diet: beef ~27 kg CO₂e/kg; vegetables < 2 kg CO₂e/kg
  4. 4UK average: ~10 tonnes CO₂e/person/year

Løste eksempler

Input
15,000 km/yr in average petrol car
Resultat
15,000 × 0.170 kg/km = 2,550 kg = 2.55 tonnes CO₂e/yr
