Electricity and heating are the largest contributors to global emissions.

Understanding the carbon dioxide emissions created by your energy use is essential for understanding your carbon footprint.

How our calculator works

We look at historical utility usage from your gas and heat bills to determine your energy use footprint, and generate an estimate that is accurate, up to date, and compliant with current Canadian government protocols for measuring greenhouse gas emissions.

Calculator

Welcome to Re(source) Energy’s Emissions Tracker, a tool designed to help you understand the emissions created by your energy consumption.

Simply by using the last 12 months of electricity and natural gas usage from your utility bill, our platform calculates the carbon emissions you’ve generated.

We recommend using the actual numbers from your last 12 months of energy consumption (found on your electrical and natural gas bills, see attached sample image).

Before you begin, you’ll need:

  • Your last 12 months of electricity consumption (found on your energy bill, or by logging into your provider account)
The average Canadian household uses 11,135 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year.
The average Canadian household uses between 89 gigajoules (GJ) per year

Your energy use has produced: ___ tonnes of carbon dioxide (t COâ‚‚e)

Optional

 If you would like us to verify your usage, upload your latest electricity bill that displays your last 12 months of electricity and heating consumption.
