Calculator for the CO₂ Emissions of an Airplane

The carbon dioxide emissions when flying a certain route can be calculated here. The value of 380 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer flown and per person is an average value for scheduled flights with economy class. In business class, this emission can be roughly doubled, and in first class, roughly tripled. The CO₂ emissions per route when flying are significantly higher than with other modes of transport.

Average emissions:	g/km
Flight distance:	km
Total emissions:	kg

Please enter two values, the third value will be calculated. The indication of the total emission of carbon dioxide for the flight route is in kilograms.

Example: the one-way route from Frankfurt am Main to Mallorca is about 1250 kilometers. For the return flight, 2500 kilometers, the CO₂ emissions are about 950 kilograms or almost one ton.

The CO₂ emissions generated when flying can be offset with money, for example through the non-profit organization atmosfair. To what extent this compensation covers the damage caused cannot be decided here.

Converting aircraft to electric propulsion is more difficult than it is for vehicles because the distances are much longer, the energy requirements are correspondingly higher and the batteries become disproportionately heavy. For aircraft, on the other hand, hydrogen and artificial fuels would make sense. In theory, carbon dioxide can be extracted from the air using electricity and converted into artificial fuels with water. This process is difficult but feasible and would enable climate-neutral flying. This only makes sense if the electricity used to generate these fuels comes from renewable or climate-neutral energies. The artificial fuels represent a good storage medium for times when more electricity is available than is needed in the power grid.

Here you can convert metric units into customary and imperial units.
