carbon calculator

Please answer all of the questions that apply to you, leaving blank any that are not relevant. Entering specific figures for fuel use and travel will enable us to calculate a more accurate reflection of your current Carbon Footprint. Don’t worry if you do not have them though, as we have also provided some average figures to use instead. Fair Shares, Fair Choice recommends that you only calculate your carbon footprint every 6-12 months to allow your low-carbon lifestyle changes to ‘take effect’ and have a bigger impact on your result.

The Fair Shares, Fair Choice calculator will give you a good idea of your carbon footprint from home energy use, personal travel and consumption (using official figures wherever possible for the calculations). However, if you want to take a more in depth look at your emissions we suggest that you also try out the calculator on the government’s ‘Act on CO2’ website.

travel - personal

Add up all the miles you travelled by car over the last year, and then multiply by the emission rate for the cars used - provided by the VCA site. (Tip: to get figures in miles, divide your distance travelled in kilometers by 1.6). If you car-share for some of your journeys, divide those CO2 emissions by the number of people in the car, and adjust your total accordingly.
