Please note, this calculator cannot be used to obtain carbon positive certification. To become certified please contact us here.

What Is Measured In The Free Calculator:

• Our free carbon calculator provides a summary of the common GHG emissions, and is suitable for individuals offsetting.

• Unlike some basic online calculators, our calculators follow the GHG protocol with a breakdown of emission gas types and totals expressed in CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent), covering CO2, NO2, CH4.

• Enter data reflecting the GHG emissions created directly or indirectly over a 12 month period. 

• This does not cover all the emissions required for Carbon Positive Certification. Our full version includes a breakdown into scope categories (scope 1, 2, 3) that is required to follow the GHG protocol standards (see the Standards section in 'Become Certified').
