My carbon balance

In your carbon balance different areas of your life from heating to miscellaneous consumption are being considered. It not only tells you your personal carbon footprint, but also the avoidance you achieved as well as a carbon handprint, which quantifies your positive impact on the climate by enabling others to avoid emissions.

Carbon footprints in comparison

Carbon footprint: 10.35 t
German average: 10.35 t

Carbon footprint

The personal carbon footprint shows how many tonnes of CO2 equivalents are emitted due to your current lifestyle.

In addition to CO2, the greenhouse gases methane and nitrous oxide are taken into account, which are converted into CO2 equivalents with the corresponding climate impact. The additional non-CO2-related climate impact of flying is also taken into account.

In order to assess your carbon footprint, the German average is always displayed for comparison.

Scenario: My result

The carbon footprint shows you how many tonnes of carbon equivalents you are emitting today as well as in the short and medium term. The carbon footprint for Germany in 2050 is calculated based on your acceptance of climate protection measures and the corresponding policies.

Your carbon handprint shows you how you can contribute to reducing carbon emissions in Germany and worldwide in the short and medium term.

Note: In some cateogories increasing your carbon handprint is not possible and there is no average carbon handprint shown for Germany in 2050.
