Each of us produces a carbon footprint through our activity. Its size depends on what you do, how you live and how much you travel. This calculator can calculate it based on your answers. Let's do this!<\/p>\n
What is a carbon footprint?<\/strong> The carbon footprint is the amount of emissions of such gases released into the atmosphere that have an impact on the Earth's climate, while these emissions are caused by human activity. We produce these gases during most of our activities, for example, during the consumption of fossil fuels in transport or the consumption of heat produced from coal or electricity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n How is the carbon footprint calculated?<\/strong> The first step to calculating the carbon footprint is determining the use of resources in the production and consumption of a unit of product or service. Subsequently, the corresponding emission factor is assigned to these sources, which connects the amount of pollutant released with the activity associated with its release (eg 0.2 g of methane per kilogram of diesel fuel consumed). The resulting emissions are obtained by multiplying the emission factor by the activity rate: \ud835\udc38\ud835\udc5a\ud835\udc56\ud835\udc60\ud835\udc56\ud835\udc52\ud835\udc65 = \ud835\udc38\ud835\udc39\ud835\udc65 \u00d7 \ud835\udc44 \u00d7 \ud835\udc3a\ud835\udc4a\ud835\udc43\ud835\udc65, where \ud835\udc38\ud835\udc5a\ud835\udc56\ud835\udc60\ud835\udc56\ud835\udc52\ud835\udc65 is the emission of pollutant x, \ud835\udc38\ud835\udc39\ud835\udc65 is the emission factor of pollutant x, \ud835\udc44 is the activity, consumption or production rate and \ud835\udc3a\ud835\udc4a\ud835\udc43\ud835\udc65 is the global warming potential of the given substance .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In what units is the carbon footprint measured?<\/strong> Since greenhouse gases include several substances (carbon dioxide, methane and others), the emissions of these substances are converted into equivalents of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e) by multiplying with the potential for global warming (Global Warming Potential - GWP). Greenhouse gas emissions, which are harmful in different proportions, can be compared with each other using CO2e.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ka\u017ed\u00fd z n\u00e1s svojou aktivitou produkuje uhl\u00edkov\u00fa stopu.
