I've been asked to produce a chart of my company's carbon footprint by converting our known energy usage (over 12mth period) into CO2 tonnes but do not know how to do this.
Is there any web sites out there which would show me how to do such or does anyone have direct knowledge of how to do it.
Can be contacted on:
barrie@crane-electronics.com, info reqd for Fri a.m.
All help much appreciated.
Regards,
Barrie

I think you would have to make quite a bit of assumptions. You would need to the consumption rates of any vehicles and the efficiency of ech engine,. And thats just for starters. It may be easier when you look at your electric and gas etc. A Very interesting subject
