Formula

## How Carbon Footprint Is Estimated Your carbon footprint includes emissions from transportation, home energy, and air travel. ### Emission Factors Used - **Driving**: 19.6 lbs CO2 per gallon of gasoline - **Electricity**: 0.92 lbs CO2 per kWh (US average) - **Natural Gas**: 11.7 lbs CO2 per therm - **Flights**: ~90 kg CO2 per flight hour per passenger (x 2.2 for lbs)

Esempio Risolto

12,000 miles at 28 MPG, 900 kWh/mo electricity, 40 therms/mo gas, 10 flight hours.

  1. 01Driving = 12,000 / 28 x 19.6 = 8,400 lbs CO2
  2. 02Electricity = 900 x 12 x 0.92 = 9,936 lbs CO2
  3. 03Natural gas = 40 x 12 x 11.7 = 5,616 lbs CO2
  4. 04Flights = 10 x 90 x 2.2 = 1,980 lbs CO2
  5. 05Total = 8,400 + 9,936 + 5,616 + 1,980 = 25,932 lbs = 11.8 tonnes
