What you can model
  • Direct fuel use (Scope 1)
  • Purchased electricity with renewables share (Scope 2)
  • Travel, commuting, spend-based goods (Scope 3)
  • Custom activities with your own factors
Inputs Fields auto-scale to 3 / 2 / 1 columns by screen size.
Example: 2025 (Annual) or Q1 2026.
Align with your inventory approach.
Used for internal documentation.
Used only for intensity metrics.
Affects spend-based units and labels.
Pick the set used for CO2e equivalence.
Applies to the built-in Scope 1 lines.
Applies to grid portion only.
Applies to built-in Scope 3 lines.

Scope 1 Direct emissions from fuels and refrigerants within your boundary.
Replace with your verified factor.
Scope 1 note
Add refrigerants using custom lines if needed. Use kilograms of leakage as activity, then kgCO2e/kg factor.

Scope 2 Indirect emissions from purchased electricity.
Use location-based or market-based factor.
Grid quantity is adjusted by this share.

Scope 3 Value-chain emissions outside direct operations.
Spend-based factors vary by sector.
Scope 3 note
Prefer activity-based methods when possible. Use custom lines for shipping, waste, and cloud workloads.

Formula used

Each line item is calculated with a consistent approach:

  • Emissions (kgCO2e) = Activity × Emission Factor × (1 − Reduction%)
  • Emissions (tCO2e) = Emissions (kgCO2e) ÷ 1000
  • Scope 2 grid share (kWh) = Total kWh × (1 − Renewable Share%)
  • Intensity per employee = Total tCO2e ÷ Employees
  • Intensity per 1M revenue = Total tCO2e ÷ (Revenue ÷ 1,000,000)
Use region- and method-appropriate factors. For formal inventories, document factor sources, activity methods, and any exclusions or estimates.
How to use this calculator
  1. Set your reporting period, boundary method, and consolidation approach.
  2. Enter activity data for fuels, electricity, travel, commuting, and spend.
  3. Replace default emission factors with verified values from your sources.
  4. Use reduction fields to test efficiency and renewable scenarios.
  5. Click Submit to view results above the form.
  6. Download CSV or PDF to share, archive, or audit.
Practical tip
Start with the highest-emitting lines in the results table. Improve data quality there first, then expand coverage across more Scope 3 categories.
Example data table
This example shows typical inputs and computed outputs using the default factors.
Scope Activity Quantity Unit EF (kg/unit) tCO2e
1 Natural gas 150,000.00 kWh 0.1830 27.4500
2 Electricity (grid) 900,000.00 kWh 0.5000 450.0000
3 Flights 120,000.00 passenger-km 0.1500 18.0000
If your grid factor differs, adjust the electricity EF for your location or contracts.

Define organizational boundaries

Choosing the right boundary keeps your inventory consistent. Use operational control when you manage daily decisions, financial control when ownership drives consolidation, or equity share for proportional reporting. The period field anchors comparisons across years and quarters. Record consolidation choices alongside facility lists and exclusions. Clear definitions reduce double counting across subsidiaries and joint ventures and help auditors trace why each source belongs in Scope 1, 2, or 3.

Collect activity data

Activity data is the foundation of credible results. Start with utility bills for electricity, meter readings for fuels, and vehicle logs for mileage and liters. For travel, capture passenger kilometres, hotel nights, and reimbursement totals. In Scope 3, prioritize categories with spend or influence, then refine methods toward activity based measures where possible. Enter quantities with consistent units for each site and keep supporting documents, assumptions, and rules together.

Document emission factors

Emission factors translate activity into emissions. Use factors that match geography, technology, and accounting method, and record their source, version, and units. Grid electricity factors vary by region and contract type, while fuels depend on carbon content. The calculator lets you edit factors and choose a GWP set for CO2e consistency. Review units so kilograms per unit align with your activity inputs and update when datasets change over time.

Read results smartly

Results are most useful when you look beyond the total. Compare Scope shares to identify where decarbonization levers sit, then review the top line items to find hotspots. Apply reduction percentages to model efficiency programs, fuel switching, or travel policies, and use renewable share to test procurement strategies. Intensity metrics normalize emissions by employees and revenue, supporting benchmarking across growth scenarios and business units. Track trends quarterly for confidence.

Export and govern

Use exported outputs to strengthen governance. The CSV report supports reconciliation, category mapping, and pivot analysis, while the PDF snapshot is useful for reviews and approvals. Store calculation inputs with evidence, and note any estimates or exclusions. When setting targets, separate structural changes from data quality upgrades, and update baselines only with documented reasons. Over time, expand Scope 3 coverage and improve supplier specific data to increase comparability materially.

FAQs

What does the calculator report as totals?

Totals are shown as tonnes of CO2 equivalent for Scope 1, Scope 2, Scope 3, and the grand total. A detailed line table shows each activity, factor, reduction setting, and resulting tCO2e.

How should I pick emission factors?

Use factors that match your geography, fuel type, and accounting method. Prefer authoritative datasets, record their version and units, and ensure the factor is expressed in kilograms per activity unit used in your inputs.

How is renewable electricity handled?

Renewable share reduces the grid electricity quantity before applying the grid factor. The renewable portion is displayed separately with a zero factor for scenario planning. For formal reporting, align this treatment with your market based rules and evidence.

Can I add more activities or categories?

Yes. Use Custom line items to add any activity with its own scope, unit, quantity, factor, and reduction. This is useful for refrigerants, waste, shipping, cloud usage, or supplier specific data.

What do the intensity metrics mean?

Intensity normalizes emissions so you can compare performance over time. The tool reports tCO2e per employee and tCO2e per one million revenue, which helps benchmark growth scenarios or compare business units.

Is this suitable for assurance or regulated disclosure?

It supports planning and internal inventories. For assurance, verify factors, document boundaries, keep evidence for activity data, and follow the standard required by your disclosure framework. Validate results with independent checks before publishing.

Disclaimer: This calculator supports planning and internal estimates. For assurance or public reporting, follow your applicable standards, document sources, and validate inputs.
