a. Heating oil Formula:
litres of oil used per year (litre year-1) x 0.0027 = tonnes of carbon dioxide emitted per year (t year-1)
b. Natural gas Formula:
volume of gas used per year (m3 year-1) x 0.0002 = tonnes of carbon dioxide emitted per year (t year-1)
c. Petrol/diesel Formula:
kilometers driven by car per year (km year-1) x litres of petrol/diesel used every 100 km travelled (litre 100 km-1) x 0.000027 = tonnes of carbon dioxide emitted per year (t year-1)
d. Electric current Formula:
kilowatts of electricity used per year (kW year-1) x 0.00069 = tonnes of carbon dioxide emitted per year (t year-1)
e. Aeroplane kerosene Formula:
kilometers travelled by aeroplane per year (km year-1) x 0.00025 = tonnes of carbon dioxide emiited per year (t year-1)
