Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my kWh usage?
Your monthly energy bill shows your usage in kWh. Smart meters and energy apps can also provide this data.
Why does France have such a low grid factor?
France generates about 70% of its electricity from nuclear power, which produces very low CO₂ per kWh compared to coal or gas-dominated grids.

How to use the household emissions calculator
Use this household emissions calculator to estimate your home's annual carbon footprint from electricity, gas, heating oil, and waste. Enter your monthly usage for each energy source above. The tool calculates total CO₂ emissions and shows the contribution of each source. Free, private, and instant on any device.
How the household emissions calculator works
The household emissions calculator applies grid emission intensity factors and fuel combustion coefficients to your energy consumption inputs to estimate annual CO₂ equivalent emissions. Factors are sourced from DEFRA, EPA, and IEA datasets. All calculations run locally in your browser with no data uploaded.
What is this tool?
Find out how much CO₂ your home produces by entering electricity and gas usage, and see monthly emissions, annual totals, and renewable energy savings.
How to interpret results
Higher emissions indicate more fossil fuel use. Switching to renewable energy or reducing consumption are the fastest ways to bring your household total down.
