Carbon Savings Calculator
Calculate your carbon emissions from transportation and see how much you can save by switching to eco-friendly options. Compare different vehicles and travel modes.
Step 1: Journey Details
Understanding Carbon Emissions
Carbon emissions from transportation depend on distance traveled, vehicle type, and fuel efficiency. Electric vehicles and public transport typically produce fewer emissions per mile.
Step 2: Vehicle Details
About Carbon Emissions
Carbon emissions are typically measured in kilograms of CO2 equivalent (kg CO2e). The average passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of CO2 per year.

Carbon Emissions Breakdown
Carbon Emissions Calculation Formula
Carbon Emissions = (Distance / Efficiency) × Emission Factor
The carbon emissions are calculated by dividing the trip distance by the vehicle’s fuel efficiency to determine fuel consumed, then multiplying by the emission factor for that fuel type. Electric vehicles use grid emission factors.
