Free personal carbon footprint calculator —
results in 3 minutes.

Decarb is a personal carbon footprint calculator that estimates your emissions across energy, transport, food, and consumption — and shows you exactly where reduction has the most impact.

Most people focus on the wrong things.

The average personal footprint is 7–12 tons CO₂e per year. Without accurate measurement, effort concentrates on low-impact actions while the highest-impact sources go unaddressed. Decarb gives you the data to focus where it counts.

Built on verified data.
Transparent by design.

Our calculations use emission factors from the IPCC, IEA, and national greenhouse gas inventories. We distinguish estimates from verified data, and we document every assumption we make.

We will not tell you you are carbon neutral. We will tell you where you stand — and what to do about it.

“Precision without transparency is not credibility. We show our work.”

IPCC

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Primary source for global warming potential values and emission factors.

IEA

International Energy Agency

Electricity grid emission factors by country and energy mix data.

GHG

National GHG inventories

Country-level emission factors for transport, food, and consumption.

EXIO

Exiobase

Consumption-based emission factors for goods and services.

Already reduced what you can? Offset the rest.

Decarb gives access to certified offset projects verified by UNFCCC CERs and Verra VCS standards. Offsetting complements reduction — it does not replace it.
