Vehicle Emissions Calculator

About the Vehicle Emissions Calculator

The Vehicle Emissions Calculator helps you estimate the carbon emissions (in kg CO2e) of your vehicle, promoting sustainable transport choices.

Sustainability Tool: Understand and reduce the environmental impact of your vehicle use.

This tool uses average emission factors for simplicity.

• Features:
  • Inputs: Distance traveled (km), fuel efficiency (L/100km), and fuel type (petrol, diesel, electric).
  • Calculates emissions based on fuel consumption and type.
  • Emission Factors:
    • Petrol: 2.3 kg CO2e/L
    • Diesel: 2.7 kg CO2e/L
    • Electric: 0.2 kg CO2e/kWh (assuming 0.5 kWh/km)
  • Keypad includes digits (0–9), decimal point (.) for precise inputs.
  • Displays total emissions and calculation steps.
  • Clear, backspace, and copy functionality for results.
  • Share or embed the calculator.
• Practical Applications: Ideal for drivers, fleet managers, or sustainability educators.
• How to Use:
  • Enter distance traveled (km).
  • Enter fuel efficiency (L/100km).
  • Select fuel type (petrol, diesel, electric).
  • Use keypad digits or decimal point for inputs.
  • Click "Calculate" to see your emissions.
  • Use "Clear" to reset or "⌫" to delete the last character.
  • Copy results or share/embed the calculator.
• Helpful Tips:
  • All inputs must be non-negative.
  • Improve fuel efficiency by maintaining your vehicle.
  • Consider electric vehicles for lower emissions.
  • Combine trips or use public transport to reduce distance traveled.
• Examples:
  • Example 1:
    • Distance = 1000 km, Fuel Efficiency = 7.5 L/100km, Fuel Type = Petrol
    • Calculations:
      • Fuel Used: (1000 / 100) × 7.5 = 75 L
      • Emissions: 75 × 2.3 = 172.5 kg CO2e
    • Result: Total Emissions = 172.5 kg CO2e
  • Example 2:
    • Distance = 500 km, Fuel Efficiency = 5 kWh/100km, Fuel Type = Electric
    • Calculations:
      • Energy Used: (500 / 100) × 5 = 25 kWh
      • Emissions: 25 × 0.2 = 5 kg CO2e
    • Result: Total Emissions = 5 kg CO2e
