The CGI Carbon Footprint Calculator
Find out how much money you can save and the pollution you can reduce by certifying your shop Green!
You can save yourself money and help clean up the environment by reducing your energy consumption with easy-to-do Green Investment measures. Calculations for O3, CO, CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, CFCs, NOx, PM10, PM2.5, SO2, HAPs and VOC reductions are based on megawatt hours of energy (MWh, or Btu), and avoided millions of tons of air pollution (MtC, or CO2, or Green House Gas).

The calculations for primary emissions are based on conversion factors sourced from:
  • Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) - UK
  • World Resource Institute (WRI) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol
  • Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) - UK
  • US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - USA
  • US Department of Energy (DOE) - USA
  • Green House Office - Australia
  • Standards Association (CSA) GHG Registries - Canada
The calculations for secondary emissions are based on estimates developed by Government Regulatory Compliance LLC to illustrate the impact on the environment from your day-to-day operations. Your actual secondary footprint may in reality be either lower or greater than that estimated here. Your total carbon footprint is the sum of your primary and secondary emissions.
