come from car's real fuel consumption i.e. not according to figures provided by UTAC (Union Technique de l'Automobile du Motocycle et du Cycle), which do not take into account cold starting, air-conditioning, acceleration, traffic jams etc. The calculation for motorcycle emissions comes from a study carried out by the Ademe. See Ademe study in PDF format.

You will need to find our your annual mileage and fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (mpg). If you travel 10,000 miles a year and your car does 30 to the gallon, you will be using 333 gallons, which is 1,514 litres. Emissions are 2.31 kg per litre, which would give a total of 3.5 tonnes of CO2. (Diesel is 2.68 kg per litre.). If this seems complicated, I recommend the calculator at Climate Care www.climatecare.org. See similar questions...

Various factors are taken into consideration when calculating flight emissions and their impact on the environment. The following are the main ones: The type of aeroplane, how much fuel it uses, the number of seats it has and how many are first class (first class seats take up more room than economy seats, and the more there are the fewer passengers the aeroplane carries). See similar questions...

The data for CO2 emissions is based on calculations made by the Ademe and the CEREN (Centre d'?tudes et de recherches ?conomiques sur l'?nergie = Research Centre for Economic Studies of Energy) according to size, heating system, age, usage of accommodation. See similar questions...

The packs are calculated on the basis of 9 tonnes of CO2 emissions per person per year. This figure corresponds to France's total emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N20, HFC, PFC, SF6) expressed as CO2 equivalents and divided by number of inhabitants. See similar questions...

It’s up to you. You can calculate your emissions and arrange for an appropriate number of trees to be planted, or you can simply donate ten trees. See similar questions...

This is a hard one, as the National Energy Foundation admit, there are all kinds of variables involved. I used 0.18 kg per mile for a long distance flight, for shorter distances a figure of up to 0.3 kg per mile may apply. Climate Care www.climatecare.org, Future Forests www.futureforests.com , and the National Energy Foundation www.natenergy.org.uk/convert.htm all have excellent calculators! See similar questions...

a fellow motorcycle enthusiast, I understand the dangers involved with riding motorcycles on Florida roads, especially the ever so fun I-95 runs. I have compiled some helpful information on what to do following a car, auto, or motorcycle accident. See similar questions...

The SMMT CO2 emissions enquiry service, available on the Internet, will let you find out the CO2 emissions for particular cars provided they are first registered between January 1998 and December 2000. The website address is www.smmt.co.uk The Vehicle Certification Agency publishes a booklet that tells you about performance of new cars. The figures in this booklet give a very good indication of the approved CO2 emissions figures, although there may be some small variations. See similar questions...

Just about any ship will transport a car or motorcycle for you - the only slight difficulty you may encounter is if you wish to travel on the same voyage - since only about 1% of the freighters sailing the worlds oceans carry passengers. See similar questions...

Yes you can - except in Siem Reap and more recently Sihanoukville - which in the past year or so has been sort of an on-again, off-again thing. But the question is should you? My answer is probably not. See similar questions...

Yes, all these means of transportation are readily available to you. Many English teachers decide to buy a vehicle. However, it is far from necessary. Public transportation is clean, cheap, quick, easy, and always available. The same applies to taxis. Another note: you will notice pretty quickly that driving in Korea can be a little aggressive. If you do decide to join the multitude of vehicles on the road, be sure to consider your safety as your number one concern. See similar questions...

All car rentals are calculated on a 24-hour basis from time of pick-up. To avoid any confusion one day is any period of 24 hours, i.e. 0800 to 0800 the next day or 12 noon to 12 noon is 24 hours or one day’s car rental. See similar questions...

Loss factors for the most common fitting types and control configurations have been developed through testing conducted by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and reviewed by EPA. The fittings tested were generic designs that approximated evaporative loss mechanisms common to most vendor components. In most cases, if the exact design is not found, one that is of similar geometry will be available and should be selected. See similar questions...

No. It is the responsibility of the reporting company or entity to make the emissions calculations using an approved method. Redbud is a means of collecting information for our database. See similar questions...

You calculate gas and electricity by adding up the KHh. (KWh appear on your utility bills.) Emissions from gas are 0.19 kg of CO2 per KWh. Emissions from electricity are 0.43 kg of CO2 per KWh. Emissions from oil (central heating) are 2.68 kg of CO2 per litre, and emissions from coal are 2.419 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of fuel. See similar questions...

Motorcycles, being heavier and almost always having manual transmissions, are more difficult to ride. Cars can be cheap, but with even the smallest of them being fairly large, they can be difficult to park, store, or drive in certain situations. Mopeds are restricted to top speeds of 25 to 30 mph, depending on where you live, which seriously limits where you can ride them... some scooters are fast enough to ride on freeways. I guess the most compelling reason is the cool factor.. See similar questions...
