Electric Car
On average, an electric car consumes about 20 to 25kWh of electricity per 100 kilometers. Also it is important to note that the electricity consumption depends on the charging method. When an electric car is charged from a household outlet, electricity consumption is generally higher than when using a faster charging technology such as a wallbox or fast charging system.
The average footprint for 1kWh power produced in EU causes a carbon footprint of around 250 -300 gram. CO2. Switzerland, Sweden and France have have some of the lowest footprints for electricity generation in Europa due to their reliance on nuclear power and hydropower, with emissions of around 14 and 41 grams of CO2 per kWh respectively. Countries which heavily rely on coal for electricity generation like Poland and Estonia have a much higher carbon footprint per kWh with emissions of around 700 – 800 grams per kWh.
Mitigate the effects of climate change
By investing in projects that reduce or remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, individuals and businesses can help to mitigate the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, and increased risk of droughts and wildfires.
Every ton of CO2 needs a price
By offsetting their carbon footprint, individuals and businesses can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and encourage others to adopt more sustainable practices as well.
Climate protection projects and renewable energies
Carbon offsetting can support the development of clean energy and other low-carbon projects, such as reforestation and methane capture, which can help to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development.
Working towards a low CO2 world
By investing in low-carbon projects and supporting sustainable practices, individuals and businesses can help to build a more resilient and sustainable economy that is less dependent on fossil fuels and more able to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
