How exactly do the calculators work?
Users enter data on emission producing activities such as fuel and electricity consumption, vehicle distance traveled, and waste production. The software then converts the data into greenhouse gases, including tons of CO2 equivalent, taking into consideration the source and type of activity. In order to apply the proper coefficients and complete a calculation, the Emissions Tracker calculators often require users to select certain parameters, such as climate type for waste or vehicle type for transport. Detailed descriptions of each calculator and its parameters can be found in the Help documentation for Project 2 Degrees.
