Not your average calculator – Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator

Have you ever wondered how your energy consumption habits translate into greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? Or do you want an idea of how your energy saving efforts have translated into real GHG savings? There is a way to take the guesswork out of it. You can easily start to understand your consumption habits with Natural Resources Canada’s  Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator. It can help you estimate the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions or energy used in your home and your car by converting measurements and emission data into everyday examples for comparison. For instance, did you know that over the course of a year, an average passenger vehicle uses the same amount of energy as 2.2 average Canadian homes?

It's simple! Just follow three easy steps:

1. Enter your energy or emissions data
2. Choose a unit
3. Calculate
