Carbon Footprint Calculator for Canadians
Calculator can be found here.
Carbon footprint calculations are typically based on annual emissions from the previous 12 months. The calculations for primary emissions are based on conversion factors sourced from:
- Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) - UK
- World Resource Institute (WRI) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol
- Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) - UK
- US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - USA
- US Department of Energy (DOE) - USA
- Green House Office - Australia
- Standards Association (CSA) GHG Registries - Canada
The calculations for secondary emissions are based on estimates developed by Carbon Footprint to illustrate the impact on the environment from your day-to-day activities. Your actual secondary footprint may in reality be either lower or greater than that estimated here. Your total carbon footprint is the sum of your primary and secondary emissions.
