Calculating Carbon Footprints" To remain as accessible as possible, most carbon calculators ask very simple questions about consumption. They accept estimates of annual electricity usage or mileage instead of exact and difficult-to-provide totals. Carbon calculators usually start by asking for your location. Regardless of your personal consumption, your carbon footprint is partly determined by the state you live in. Some states rely more on dirtier sources of power like coal; others use larger percentages of renewable sources that produce less CO2. Most calculators also ask for the size of your household. To determine the amount of CO2 produced by home electricity, the calculator divides the estimated or exact usage by the price of power in the area. Most calculators account for the lower emissions of green power subscribers. Carbon footprints also include the CO2 produced by transportation. For air travel, some carbon calculators ask for an annual estimate of mileage.

Viewing C02 Emissions in Google Earth C02 Forrug Tog Kontra Bil Danish National Railways have added a CO2 calculator to their travel planner so when searching for a trip passengers can compare the C02 emissions of the train journey with the equivalent journey undertaken by car. This Google Earth plugin tour follows the route of a train from København (Copenhagen leaving at 08:50 AM) to Aalborg in North Jutland. The tour shows all of the train's stops and an image overlay at each station shows the C02 emissions of the train (green) and a car (red). The tour is accompanied by a song called La Trilogie (Part 1). Since the Google Earth plugin does not fully support all the animation features of Google Earth the tour creator has also created a KMZ file.USA C02 Emissions from Fossil Fuel This Google Earth plugin map from the Vulcan Project shows U.S. fossil fuel CO2 emissions for 2002.

CO2nnect.org: Welcome to CO2nnect! 22 Carbon Management Software Firms You Should Know Abo Yep, there are actually 22 firms selling software to help companies and governments manage their carbon footprints. And most of them are older, established companies (here’s our previous list of 10 Carbon Management Startups). Research firm Verdantix put together an extensive list of 22 carbon management software companies and ranked them in categories according to customer wins and features. Verdantix predicts that by 2011, the carbon management software industry will start to boom, rising from $120 million that year to $250 million in 2012, as companies realize that Microsoft Excel and utility bills — the most common way to calculate carbon footprints right now — are ineffective and difficult to use. By that time, I’d predict that the carbon management market will start to consolidate and some very clear leaders will move far ahead, and others will get bought up or will go under. Already, one company in Verdantix’s “Leaders” category bought up another one. Leaders: ProcessMAP: Ft.

What is Kaya's equation ? The Kaya Equation last updated: February 2014 website of the author : www.manicore.com - contact the author: jean-marc@manicore.com Greenhouse gases emissions, wealth, energy intensity, population... There would be a link between all those figures, that a number of experts - physicists, economists, engineers, demographs - all appreciate to discuss in their own field ? All that follows derives from the simple fact - that generations of high school students surely remember ! Our first equation couldn't be more simple. So far, everyone should follow ! What is the point ? Indeed, the ratio (CO2/TOE) bears the name of "carbon content of energy": it is the amount of CO2 that we must let go in the atmosphere to get a given amount of energy for our activities. This figure already allows to see that, for a given energy consumption, CO2 emissions may vary a lot depending on the energy mix we decide to have (or are able to have...). Translated into English, we have now written:
