For those businesses yet to engage with carbon reporting, it is impossible to imagine the carbon emissions from their various activities, so we thought we’d pull together some assorted examples.
- A 300 kW gas fired boiler, on a typical space heating duty 129.0 t / year
- A medium sized diesel car, doing 20,000 miles a year 5.3 t
- A medium van, doing 30,000 miles a year 11.6 t
- A 5kw electric motor, running on a double shift, 6 days a week 4.8 t
- 10kg of HFC32 refrigerant gas, lost via leakage 6.7 t
- Long haul flight, UK to north west US, return 2.0 t (per passenger)
- One tonne steel, from virgin stock 4.0 t
We hope you find these interesting.
