CO2 Calculator

Your carbon footprint is a representation of the effect you have on the climate in terms of the total amount of greenhouse gases you produce (measured in units of carbon dioxide). Many of your actions generate carbon emissions, which contribute to accelerating global warming and climate change.

Defra’s Act on CO2 calculator is designed to increase understanding of the link between individual action and climate change, through carbon dioxide emissions. It also raises awareness of the different actions people can take in their everyday lives to help tackle climate change.

Ardenham Energy Ltd have adopted to use the nationally known Carbon Footprint calculator outlined on the DEFRA website.

The calculator enables people to reliably calculate their carbon footprint from home energy, appliances and transport. They can also choose to calculate their own personal footprint or their household’s. The calculator then develops a personalised action plan for users, with steps they can take to cut their emissions.
