Air-travel methodology varies: factors may cover CO₂ only or CO₂e and may apply additional non-CO₂ effects. Set the multiplier according to your chosen methodology.

How to use this calculator

What to enter

Enter or select the following as requested: Passenger emission factor; Radiative forcing / multiplier. Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.

What the result means

The environmental or resource result is an estimate based on the activity quantities and factors entered or built into the tool. Emission factors, regional energy mixes, and local conditions can change the result; check the assumptions and reporting period.

When to use it

Use this to estimate resource use or compare scenarios. For formal reporting, use current region- and method-specific factors and document the assumptions.
