Calculate your climate footprint in 10 minutes top time.

Question for the user
What type of fuel does your car use?
Input help
To help you understand the different types of fuel, this educational article is very useful.
This article from the French Ministry of Ecology explains in greater detail the fuels legal in France.Please note that while the type of fuel varies significantly in terms of climate footprint per liter, consumption in liters per 100km also varies. Be sure to enter a consumption per liter based on your actual average.
Notes
The dominance of diesel and petrol is overwhelming .
However, among new vehicles, petrol now dominates.
The emission factor associated with E85 biofuel is not representative of the environmental consequences of using biofuels. In view of the problems associated with land use change and other environmental impacts associated with the cultivation of maize, for example, biofuels are not taken into account (the carbon base emission factor being particularly uncertain). See our discussions here.
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a residue from oil extraction that used to be burnt. It has a smaller carbon footprint per litre than petrol or diesel vehicles, although its consumption is slightly higher, which slightly offsets the gain. But while CO2e emissions are almost the same for LPG as for other fuels, it is in terms of harmful particle emissions that LPG comes out much better than other thermal fuels.
