Pegada Carbono anual

The Individual Carbon Footprint Calculator estimates annual carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions per person, considering factors like energy use, transportation, diet, and daily habits. It uses inputs such as vehicle mileage, energy sources, and air travel frequency to calculate emissions. Ideal for individuals who want to understand their environmental impact and identify reduction opportunities.

The calculation relies on standardized conversion formulas for activities into CO₂ emissions, such as the World Bank or Carbon Independent methodology. For example, 100 km in a gasoline car equals roughly 2.4 kg of CO₂. The tool converts these into an annual average per person, adjusted to the Brazilian context of consumption and infrastructure.

Use it to compare your footprint with the national average (around 2.3 tons/year in Brazil) or international averages (6-8 tons/year in developed countries). Update data annually to track habit changes. It excludes indirect emissions like industrial production, focusing on daily controllable actions.

Cautions: Avoid using rough estimates. Fill fields with actual values for accuracy. This tool does not replace professional environmental management analyses but serves as a first step for awareness. If using third-party data (e.g., company statistics), consult the person responsible for verification.
