Carbon Calculator

CAFA asserts copyright over the Carbon Calculator.

The Emission Factors used in the Carbon Calculator are in some instances simplified and/or averaged, and to that extent may vary from primary sources: UK Government ”Conversion Factors 2020: Condensed Set“.

(www.gov.uk/government/publications/greenhouse-gas-reporting-conversion-factors-2020).

CAFA has made every effort to make the Carbon Calculator as accurate as possible, but makes no warranty to users in any respect regarding its content or functionality, and users use the Carbon Calculator solely at their own choice and risk.

Use of the Carbon Calculator for emissions generated outside the UK may not be suitable, as the UK-derived emission factors are country specific (e.g. higher or lower use of renewables in electricity generation).

The Carbon Calculator may be downloaded from the website for use only by the downloading party. Under no circumstances may the Carbon Calculator be transmitted, forwarded, sold, traded or provided to a third party, whether or not modified or amended, without the prior consent of CAFA.
