Calculateur de Flight Carbon Footprint
Estimate CO2 emissions for a flight using an average emissions factor per passenger-mile.
Formula and method
This calculator computes Estimated CO2 emissions directly in your browser without sending data to an external server.
Mathematical formula
- Estimated CO2 emissions:
distanceMi × kgCO2PerMile
Variables and parameters
- Flight distance (distanceMi): default value 2500 mi.
- CO2 factor (kgCO2PerMile): default value 0.18 kg/mi.
Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations (such as division by zero or logarithms of non-positive numbers). In those cases the live tool displays an alert instead of NaN.
