Carbon Footprint CalculatorThis calculator enables a company to estimate the carbon footprint of their business activities.

There are 2 main input headings

  1. Fossil fuel used for site activities and electricity from grid or renewable sources
  2. Transport fuel for staff travel and/or materials/product distribution

Report
A carbon dioxide equivalent figure in tonnes will be estimated from the inputted figures. The total carbon dioxide equivalent figures will give an estimate of your carbon footprint. If you wish you can input figures into any section of the calculator and obtain a CO2 figure for that particular parameter. You can also produce a full report by completing all the relevant sections and request a report for printing at the end.

Question 1 - Fuel Consumption
Question 2 - Electricity Used
Question 3a - Product/Materials Transport
Question 3b - Staff Business travel

NOTE: Calculations are based on SEI and DEFRA figures. Some co-efficients used in this calculator are approximate. They are designed to give an estimate of a business carbon footprint. An in depth analysis is required in order to measure a more precise footprint.
