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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

We buy and sell hundreds of cars every day, so we have easy access to the real prices that cars are currently achieving in the market. Our team of expert valuers take all of the details that you enter into the website into account and individually price your car based on all of the information at their finger tips to give you the best possible price.

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.

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.

Emissions standards also vary from state to state, and even regions within states. Most states will require that your car meet the specifications for the year of your engine. Another reason to stick with an early engine. It is usually possible to title the car as a pre-emissions vehicle as described in our REGISTRATION faq above.

Don't worry. You don't need to be Archimedes to figure out a car lease payment. There a few numbers you will need to find out in order to plug them into a simple equation. Once this is done, the result will tell you what your monthly payment will be. These are numbers that can be made available by a dealer, in accordance with the Federal Consumer Leasing Act. (The dealer is not required to give you the money factor, however, you can get it if you are persistent.

Since the majority of our air pollution in Pima County comes from motor vehicle use, maintenance of your vehicles emission system is critical to improve and maintain our air quality. If your vehicle is 12 years or older and it fails the state emissions test, you may qualify for financial assistance for vehicle emission repairs through the PDEQ Voluntary Vehicle Repair and Retrofit Program.

The normal minimum charge on 15% of the car 's price will apply to cars that emit CO2 at or below a specified level. The percentage will be increased in 1 percent steps for every additional 5g/km over the specified level - up to a maximum of 35%. The figures calculated in this way will then be increased by 3% for diesel cars (subject to the maximum charge always being 35%) or discounted for certain cars that are particularly environmentally friendly.

Cars without an approved figure of CO2 emissions will be taxed according to engine size as shown on leaflet P523.

The EC takes account of the environmental impacts of the vehicles it uses, including fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, in its fleet management practices. It has already committed itself to: Gradually replace its fleet of service cars with diesel cars equipped with a particle filter (diesel cars emit less CO2 than petrol-powered cars). Equip technical services, for short trips between EC buildings, with small cars emitting less than 140g/km for petrol cars and less than 130g for diesel cars.
