Simple Carbon Calculator Updated
One of the most popular pages on the National Energy Foundation is our "Simple Carbon Calculator". We first wrote this in 2000 to provide a straightforward way of computing a carbon footprint from billing or consumption records. We have always taken emission factors from Defra's official UK data for environmental reporting, although in keeping with the calculator's name, we have always simplified some of the calculations. So we are pleased to announce that the calculator has now been updated and enhanced again, to include June 2009 figures and more electricity factors.
