WHAT IS CARBON-FOOTPRINT?
A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions caused directly and indirectly by
an individual, organization, event or product, and is
expressed as a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).

WHO: ‘A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact

your activities have on the amount of carbon dioxide
(CO2) produced through the burning of fossil fuels and
is expressed as a weight of CO2 emissions produced in
tones. ’
 CALCULATION FORMULAS :
ENERGY:
CO2 = (Total Amount * (CO2 Emission Factor * Heating Value) * Density)
CH4 = ((Total Amount * (CH4 Emission Factor * Heating Value) * Density) * GWP CH4 Conversion)
N2O = ((Total Amount * (N2O Emission Factor * Heating Value) * Density) * GWP N2O Conversion)

TRAVEL:
CO2 = ((Distance Traveled + Fuel Usage) * Emission Factor)
CH4 = (((Distance
: Traveled + Fuel Usage) * CH4 Emission Factor) * GWP CH4 Conversion)
N2O = (((Distance Traveled + Fuel Usage) * N2O Emission Factor) * GWP N2O Conversion)

FOOD:
CO2 = consumption (kCal/day)*365*EF (kg CO2e/kCal) = emissions (kg CO2e/yr)
