How to Calculate Co2 Produced
CO2 emission calculated from the fuel you
use Fuel consumptionA in litres Specific
gravityB 0.52 for LPG, 0.74 for petrol (gas)
or 0.85 for diesel Proportion of carbon in
fuelC 0.83 for LPG, 0.84 for petrol (gas) or
0.85 for diesel D A B C 3.6667 Carbon
dioxide produced, Kg Example calculation
A2200, B0.74, C0.84, D5014 Note The
constant 3.6667 is for converting kg of carbon to
kg of CO2. One kg of carbon combines with
2.6667kg of oxygen to form 3.6667kg of CO2.

The real cost

• 2527 kg of carbon
• one native British hardwood would offset 650kg
  over 40 years.
• So to offset for one holiday per year you would
  have to plant 155 trees
• 650 / 40 16.25 2527 / 16.25 155
• Total cost 1550
• Land usage 1acre

• One flight to the USA would need to plant 81,220
  trees
• Total of 524 acres
• Cost 812,200
• The flights out of Heathrow alone would cover the
  UK in less than 1 week
