Meat production has a large carbon footprint from methane emissions, feed production, and land use. This calculator estimates annual dietary CO₂ equivalent from meat consumption.

Formel

Carbon footprint (kg CO₂/kg meat): Beef ≈ 20–30 | Pork ≈ 4–7 | Chicken ≈ 2–4 | Annual impact = consumption × footprint

Trin-for-trin guide

  1. 1Beef: ~27 kg CO₂e per kg meat
  2. 2Lamb: ~39 kg CO₂e/kg
  3. 3Pork: ~12 kg CO₂e/kg
  4. 4Chicken: ~6.9 kg CO₂e/kg

Løste eksempler

Input
400g beef/week + 600g chicken/week
Resultat
Annual CO₂e ≈ (0.4×52×27) + (0.6×52×6.9) = 561 + 215 = 776 kg CO₂e/yr
