Carbon Offset Cost Calculator公式

## How to Calculate Carbon Offset Costs

Carbon offsets let you compensate for emissions by funding projects that reduce CO2 elsewhere.

### Formula

**Cost = CO2 Tons * Price per Ton**

### Typical Prices

- **Renewable energy credits**: $5-15/ton
- **Forest conservation**: $10-25/ton
- **Direct air capture**: $100-600/ton

计算示例

Offset a 12-ton annual footprint at $15 per ton.

  1. Total cost: 12 * $15 = $180 per year
  2. Monthly: $180 / 12 = $15/month
  3. Daily: $180 / 365 = $0.49/day
