Try examples: Making a cup of coffee using a disposable pod | Watching a streaming platform in 4K for 2 hours |
Purchasing a new outfit from a fast-fashion store | Commuting with a petrol car 15km every day

Emission Finder computes CO2 emissions based on a combination of standardized emission factors, established scientific research, and prevailing industry standards. Our methodology adheres to the principles of accuracy, transparency, and comprehensiveness to deliver reliable and verifiable emission estimates for a range of activities and products.

Main Components of Our Calculations:

  • Emission Factors: Utilizes global and region-specific emission factors derived from databases like the Emission Factors Database (EFDB) by the IPCC, and other credible scientific sources.
  • Activity Data: Integrates data representing the quantity of human activities, like the distance traveled in a vehicle or hours of appliance usage.
  • Scientific Research: Embeds insights and data from peer-reviewed scientific publications to enhance the accuracy and reliability of emission estimates.

This platform endeavors to provide accurate and insightful emission data. However, precise CO2 emissions can depend on numerous variables, some of which may not be fully encapsulated in our calculations. Thus, the results should be viewed as estimations and used as a guide to understand potential emission sources and explore lower-emission alternatives.

Note: The integration with ChatGPT enables user-friendly interactions and inquiries within Emission Finder. ChatGPT does not calculate emissions but facilitates the communication between users and the emission calculation engine developed by Emission Finder, assisting in delivering a seamless user experience.
