CO₂ web calculators

A number of organisations have developed on-line calculators that allow individuals and/or organisations to calculate their CO₂ emissions. EETIC plans to develop such a tool for this website, based on recognised international procedures. In the interim we provide links to a number of existing websites that already provide this facility. Please note that EETIC cannot vouch for their accuracy.

1 CO₂ Calculator

http://energy.accc.ca/tools/co2_calculator.cfm

This site provided by the Association of Canadian Community Colleges provides a link to a comprehensive spreadsheet, developed by NRCan. Although designed for use in Canada, the methodology is applicable much more widely.

2 EPA Global Warming Site Personal Greenhouse Gas Calculator

Click here to visit the site

This site provided by the US Environmental Projection Agency can be used to calculate a household’s greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the impact of measures implemented to reduce these.

3 CO₂ Reduction Calculator

http://www.icbe.com/carbondatabase/reductions.asp

This calculator estimates the time and cost required to phase out CO₂ production with a range of renewable energy technologies and carbon sinks.

4 Carbon Dioxide Calculator

http://www.geic.or.jp/co2-cal/

This CO₂calculator, based on the ChoCO2 studies of GEIC (the Global Environment Information Centre in Tokyo), calculates CO₂ emissions from everyday Japanese electrical appliances and automobiles based on energy consumption figures. By marking the appliances you use and filling out the required information, you can get a quick idea of how you can impact on the environment through your lifestyle.

5 Energy to Carbon Dioxide Converter from National Energy Foundation

http://www.natenergy.org.uk/convert.htm

This web page includes a simple calculator that should help in calculating your own CO₂ emissions. All figures apply to the UK and are based upon official Government figures from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

6 New WRI website asks how big is your CO₂ footprint

http://www.wri.org/press/safeclimate.html

Visitors to SafeClimate.net can use the site's calculator to estimate their carbon dioxide emissions from energy and transport use. It also offers a set of voluntary actions they can take to reduce their emissions like purchasing climate-friendly products on-line, signing up for green energy, and making easy lifestyle changes such as properly maintaining appliances for maximum energy efficiency.

7 IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Task24 Active Solar Procurement CO₂ impact

http://www.ieatask24.org/CO2.htm

This site provided by IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Task 24 on active solar procurement helps you to calculate the savings in energy use and CO₂ emissions you can achieve through the use of solar water heating.

8 ICLEI Personal CO₂ Calculation

http://www.iclei.org/iclei/co2calc.htm

This site, provided by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, allows the user to calculate their personal CO₂ emissions and compare them to averages from various countries.
