Frequently Asked Questions

How is carbon footprint calculated?

Carbon footprint is calculated by multiplying activity data (like electricity consumption or kilometers driven) by emission factors specific to each activity. We use India-specific emission factors from government and IPCC sources.

What are Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions?

Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned sources (like fuel combustion). Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy (electricity). Scope 3 covers all other indirect emissions in the value chain. This calculator covers personal Scope 1 and 2.

What is a good carbon footprint?

The global average is about 4.7 tonnes CO2e per person per year. India's average is 1.9 tonnes. To limit warming to 1.5°C, we need to reach about 2 tonnes per person by 2050.

How can I reduce my carbon footprint?

Key actions include: switching to renewable energy, using public transport or EVs, reducing air travel, improving home insulation, eating less meat, and buying local products.
