The carboNZero travel & tourism calculator

The travel & tourism calculator allows travellers to calculate greenhouse gas emissions for their domestic and overseas travel, and/or New Zealand-specific accommodation and recreational activities.

The carboNZero programme measures all greenhouse gas emissions and converts them to carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-e). Although most of the emissions measured for your travel, accomodation and activities are carbon dioxide (CO2), your results from the travel & tourism calculator include other relevant greenhouse gases.

  • To calculate your emissions, simply enter the appropriate values in the list.
  • Click on the types of transport to help you work out the distances involved.
  • You can then offset your emissions by purchasing carbon credits via the online payment facility, subject to availability of carbon credits.
