UK Business Carbon Footprint Calculator

Calculate your Scope 1 (gas, fuel, vehicles) and Scope 2 (electricity) emissions using BEIS 2024 emission factors. See your net zero gap and 1.5°C pathway.

Carbon Footprint Calculator

Scope 1 (gas, diesel, petrol) + Scope 2 (electricity) using BEIS 2024 factors

From utility bills — kWh consumed

Check gas meter or bill in m³

Company petrol vehicles

~1 hr = London–Manchester return

Europe — ~2–4 hrs per flight

US, Asia etc — 8–12 hrs per flight
