What you'll learn

  • Carbon footprint significance
  • Carbon footprint calculations
  • Calculator to calculate footprint
  • Data for footprint calculations

Course content

1 section • 17 lectures • 1h 25m total length

  • Introduction2:32
  • Carbon footprint calculator6:54
  • Carbon footprint3:02
  • Carbon footprint calculations3:24
  • Expressing carbon footprint in CO2 equivalent2:23

    Explain how carbon footprints are expressed in CO2 equivalent by using the global warming potential of gases (methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons) and their atmospheric lifetimes.

  • Questions calculator will ask6:02
  • Calculating carbon footprint from electricity bill3:42
  • Electricity consumption from appliances7:28
  • Emission factor for electricity from coal5:17
  • How has calculator calculated footprint from transport3:09

    Learn how the transport carbon footprint is calculated using travel mode, distance, and passengers, using either vehicle emission factors or mileage with fuel emission factors to yield per capita CO2e.

  • Formula for footprint calculation5:06
  • Python code for carbon footprint from electricity use5:58
  • Python code for transport footprint3:40
  • Carbon footprint from car travel and bus travel5:12
  • Carbon footprint from food5:08
  • Python code for carbon footprint from meal5:52
  • Footprint calculator10:11

    Develop a household carbon footprint calculator that uses location, period, emission factors, and radiative forcing to compute emissions from electricity, travel, and heating.

Requirements

  • some understanding of climate change

Description

Carbon footprint calculator

you to reduce carbon emissions and energy costs all year round. Measure your Carbon Footprint, Get Weekly Tips

Keeping you compliant with carbon/energy law Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR), TCFD & Net Zero Carbon Procurement

Target Setting robust carbon/energy & environmental management ISO 14001, Science Based Targets , Supply Chain Footprinting

Carbon Neutrality/Net Zero Carbon to enhance your brands, products & services via Quality Assurance Standard approved carbon offsetting

Caring for the Climate and Communities with our unique Carbon Offset projects - UK, Americas, Global


Carbon footprint calculations are explained to those who have keen interest in climate change and little exposure to carbonfootprint calculations.

The expected outcome is to understand the logic behind carbon footprint calculatuons used by carbon footprint calculator

Individual carbon footprint can easily be calculated provided we know what data one needs for the same


Emission factor is an important input but more important is user interface of the calculator. Calculations require right questions to be asked and a set of questions related to carbonfootprint calculations are included in the course



Questions related to house energy use

Questions related to transport energy use.

Questions on food habits

Questions on products consumed

After finalizing the list of such questions formulas to convert the energy use data to carbon footprint are given

So if the user travels by car , emission factor for car travel per km per person is given

For flight travel similar formulas are explained

For electricity used in applicance we need information on the utility and the logic behind this is explained

Who this course is for:

  • Beginners who are interested in understanding how carbon footprint calculator works or are interested in designing their own calculators
