Net CO₂
2.9 tons
Combustion CO₂95 tons
Transport CO₂0.4 tons
Sequestered CO₂92.5 tons
How to Use This Calculator
- Select biomass fuel type and enter your annual consumption in tons.
- Enter the transport distance in miles from fuel source to facility.
- Review Combustion CO₂, Transport CO₂, Sequestered CO₂, and Net CO₂ (tons).
- A negative net CO₂ indicates a carbon-negative fuel cycle — compare fuel types to find the best outcome.
