Carbon Footprint Calculator
Carbon Footprint Calculation Formula
The carbon footprint is calculated by multiplying the energy consumption (in kilowatt-hours) of an appliance by 0.81. This gives the carbon footprint in pounds of CO₂. This conversion factor is based on the average CO₂ emissions per kWh of electricity generated in the United States.
