Road Trip Carbon Emissions Calculator
Estimate the carbon dioxide emissions of a road trip by combining distance, vehicle efficiency, and fuel emission factor.
CalcSimpler Examples
- 500 km, 8 L/100km, 2.31 kg/L ⇒ 92.4 kg CO2
- 350 km, 6.5 L/100km, 2.31 kg/L ⇒ 52.55 kg CO2
FAQ
What is an emission factor?
It represents the kilograms of CO2 produced per liter of fuel burned.
How does fuel efficiency affect emissions?
Better fuel efficiency means less fuel burned and lower CO2 output.
Does this account for passengers?
No, it only calculates vehicle emissions regardless of passenger count.
Can I use gallons instead of liters?
Yes, convert gallons to liters and adjust the emission factor accordingly.
Additional Information
- Burning one liter of gasoline emits about 2.31 kg of CO2.
