Carbon calculators
Increasingly people are using web-based Carbon Calculators to estimate their emissions. There are lots of calculators out there on the web, but how do you know which one to use? Which ones are most accurate, or easiest to use?
COIN has searched the web to find the best calculators out there. They compared the calculators in detail, and the top calculators, listed below, should be all you need to accurately and easily estimate your emissions.
Most calculators COIN surveyed were strong in some areas of calculation and weaker in others. For this reason as well as giving an overall summary they broke down their comparisons into four areas:
Air Travel, Land Travel, Home Fuel Emissions, and Waste Consumption Emissions.
If you want a good overall calculator, try one of the top 5 listed below; but if you’re specifically interested in focussing on one area - for example calculating emissions from a flight or train journey, then you might want to check out the top 5 lists for individual categories.
