Calculator for the CO2 Price
Calculates the price of carbon dioxide when burning a specific amount of gasoline, diesel, heating oil, coal or gas. CO2 is carbon dioxide, the most important but not the only greenhouse gas. The CO2 price is set politically and by the market to reduce its emissions. A fair price to cover the cost of one metric ton of CO2 would be around €180. In January 2021, the price in the EU was around €30 per ton, one year later it was about €85. At the end of 2024, it was around €48.
Please enter a price per ton of CO2 and select a fuel and its quantity. The amount of CO2 generated and the price for that amount are calculated.
Example: 2000 liters (20 hectoliters) of heating oil produce 6 tons of carbon dioxide. At a price of €105 per ton, the total price for the CO2 is €630.
The aim of the CO2 price is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. It is a political instrument for a market-based environmental policy. This price is therefore very dependent on the goodwill of the politicians in power and is therefore also subject to moods and tactics that have nothing to do with the environmental issue. Nevertheless, it is considered one of many potentially helpful means of curbing climate change.
A CO2 price or such a tax would of course be more effective if it were implemented everywhere in the world, which we are still a long way from (as of the end of 2024). Nevertheless, it is active in some important parts of the world, such as parts of Europe and the EU, parts of North and South America, China and New Zealand. Prices are also not uniform where they exist, but vary depending on the country or region. There are still many different systems for setting prices. The whole system is therefore still very much in development.
Here you can convert metric units into customary and imperial units.
