Fuel Emissions Calculator

Estimate fuel emissions using a simplified factor for gasoline, diesel or LPG.

About the Fuel Emissions Calculator

Apply a transparent factor to a stated fuel quantity.

How to use it

  1. Enter fuel quantity and choose fuel type.
  2. Choose liters or US gallons.
  3. Optionally replace the built-in factor with one expressed per selected unit.

Formula

Estimated kg CO2e equals fuel quantity times the emission factor. Default factors per liter are 2.31 for gasoline, 2.68 for diesel and 1.51 for LPG.

Example

50 liters of gasoline at 2.31 kg CO2e per liter estimates 115.5 kg CO2e.

Notes

Default factors are simplified direct-combustion references and may not include upstream lifecycle emissions. US gallons use 3.785411784 liters.
