Flight Carbon Footprint
Enter the flight distance and an emission factor to estimate the resulting carbon footprint.
Educational information, not professional advice.
Examples
- 1000 km at 0.115 ⇒ 115 kg CO₂
- 5000 km at 0.115 ⇒ 575 kg CO₂
- 750 km at 0.115 ⇒ 86.25 kg CO₂
FAQ
What emission factor is used?
0.115 kg CO₂ per passenger-km is a common estimate.
Does this include radiative forcing?
No, it's a basic estimate without additional multipliers.
How accurate is this?
Actual emissions vary by aircraft and load.
Can I offset these emissions?
Look for reputable carbon offset programs.
Additional Information
- Emission factors vary by aircraft type and load; 0.115 kg/km is a common average.
- Long-haul flights typically have a lower per-km footprint than short hops.
