Calculate the CO2 footprint of your trip

Calculate the CO2 emissions of different means of transportation and offset your emissions:

  • Car: 150-200 g CO2/km (petrol/diesel)
  • E-car: 50-100 g/km (depending on electricity mix)
  • Train (long-distance transport): 40 g/km
  • Bus (long-distance bus): 30 g/km
  • Aircraft (short-haul): 230 g/km
  • Aircraft (long-haul): 180 g/km

Example: Berlin → Munich (600 km):

  • Car: 120 kg CO2
  • Train: 24 kg CO2 (5x less!)
  • Flight: 138 kg CO2

Compensation: Compensating for 1 ton of CO2 costs around €20-30. Via organizations such as atmosfair, myclimate.

Faustformel: Train/bus the most climate-friendly. Airplane worst (especially short-haul). Carpooling improves car balance!
