    Understanding Greenhouse Gas Emissions


    Greenhouse gases (GHGs) trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Measuring emissions is the first step toward reduction.


    How Our GHG Calculator Works


    Step 1: Select Emission Sources

    Choose from categories:

  1. Energy consumption
  2. Transportation
  3. Waste management
  4. Industrial processes
  5. Agriculture

  6. Step 2: Enter Activity Data

    Input quantities for each source:

  7. kWh of electricity
  8. Liters of fuel
  9. Kilometers traveled
  10. Tonnes of waste

  11. Step 3: View Results

    Get detailed breakdowns:

  12. CO2 equivalent emissions
  13. Category contributions
  14. Comparison benchmarks
  15. Reduction suggestions

  16. Emission Categories Explained


    Scope 1: Direct Emissions

    Emissions from owned or controlled sources:

  17. Company vehicles
  18. On-site fuel combustion
  19. Industrial processes

  20. Scope 2: Indirect Energy Emissions

    Emissions from purchased energy:

  21. Electricity
