TV — CO₂/h

The TV carbon footprint calculator estimates the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) equivalent emitted by a television when left on for one hour. The energy consumption of a TV varies depending on the model and technology used, but on average, a TV can emit around 0.1 kg of CO₂e per hour of use. While this may seem minimal, the cumulative impact over time and considering the number of devices in a household can be substantial.

The formula used is based on the average electricity consumption of a TV and the CO₂ emission factor for electricity generation in Brazil. The result is expressed in kilograms of CO₂ equivalent (kg CO₂e), which is a unit that accounts for the global warming potential of different greenhouse gases.

It's essential to use this calculator to raise awareness about the environmental impact of electricity consumption and to seek ways to reduce one's carbon footprint daily. Simple actions include turning off the TV when not in use, opting for more energy-efficient models, and maximizing the lifespan of devices.

By considering the carbon footprint of TV use per hour, users can make more informed decisions about responsible energy use and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
