GREENHOUSE GAS CALCULATOR
The innovative greenhouse gas footprint calculator has been up and running for a couple of years now. Our members have been using the calculator to easily calculate the greenhouse gas footprint of their menus.
The free to use tool is available to all stakeholders and has been used by institutions and business alike. Students have also used and reference the tool when writing their dissertations on environment and greenhouse gas emissions.
The calculator is extremely simple to use, with only a few drop-down steps to follow. By selecting ingredients and inserting quantities the total greenhouse gases will be displayed, along with the emissions per serving in grams.
During 2020 we have been working with our partners to update the methodology. Transport, energy consumption and direct emissions factors have also been updated and additional products have been added to the data base. 
The tool uses the most up to date emission factors available and the references are available. Emissions and their associated factors are not available for every product, from every country for all production methods currently.
