* The Equivalencies Calculator uses different emissions factors for electricity depending on whether it is avoided or consumed at typical scales, energy efficiency and renewable energy programs and projects do not affect baseload power generation, so the calculator uses a non-baseload emissions factor. For more accurate estimates, please use regional emissions factors available in AVERT or eGRID. Note that the calculator uses national average emissions factors for electricity, which may not be accurate for your region. Kilowatt-hours used Choose kilowatt-hours used when entering data on electricity use, such as your household’s or company’s annual electricity consumption. Kilowatt-hours avoided Choose kilowatt-hours avoided when entering data on electricity use avoided through energy efficiency or fossil fuel electricity generation avoided through renewable energy. To see the methodology used to determine annual greenhouse gas emissions per passenger vehicle, visit the Calculations & References page for equations and sources used. For the calculator’s purposes, passenger vehicles are defined as 2-axle 4-tire vehicles, including passenger cars, vans, pickup trucks, and sport/utility vehicles. Gasoline-powered passenger vehicles While passenger vehicles are not a unit of energy consumption, they do consume energy.
