Personal carbon reduction

A free reduction plan,
ranked by tons CO₂e saved.

Answer a few questions. Decarb calculates your estimated footprint across eight emission categories and delivers a PDF report with your highest-impact reduction actions — ranked by verified emission factors from the IPCC, IEA, and EPA. Not guesswork. Not generic advice.

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.

Reduce

A structured action plan with prioritised steps, ranked by tons CO₂e saved. Focus on what moves the number most — not what feels good.

Prioritised actions · PDF report

Know your number.
Know what to do.

Every Decarb calculation produces a structured PDF report — not a score, not a grade. A data-driven breakdown you can act on.

Total estimated footprint in tons CO₂e

Broken down across eight categories: flights, transport, energy, food, waste, goods, and financed emissions.

Benchmarks

Your result compared against national and global averages, and the 1.5°C pathway target.

Reduction actions, ranked by impact

Every action is quantified in tons CO₂e saved. The highest-impact changes appear first.

Methodology notes

Every emission factor and assumption documented. Transparent by default.

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.
