Carbon footprint calculator

This calculator estimates the carbon footprint for a mix of power generation methods. This is an approximate estimate: a much more detailed assessment is needed to make an accurate estimate.

The carbon content of wood (or biomass) is included, though it is usually thought of as a carbon-neutral source. A net burning of wood (e.g. deforestation, use of non-replanted sources) does generate carbon dioxide.
