Master Your Carbon Footprint: Complete 2025 Guide for India

Your carbon footprint represents the total greenhouse gas emissions—primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane—generated by your daily activities, measured in tons of CO2-equivalent (CO2e). In 2025, global CO2 emissions hit 37.55 gigatons, a 1.1% rise from 2024. The average global per capita footprint is 4 tons, but in India it’s only 2.5 tons – better than US (16 tons) and Europe (7 tons). However, rapid urbanization and rising consumption are pushing India’s emissions up fast. By calculating and reducing your footprint, you contribute to a sustainable future.

Why 2025 is Critical for India’s Climate Action

Delhi’s transport sector contributes 30% of city pollution. Mumbai’s electricity demand grew 8% in 2024. But the government launched PM Suryaghar Yojana offering up to ₹78,000 subsidy for rooftop solar – over 1.3 crore households applied!

How Our Calculator Works (EPA + India Grid Factors)

We use accurate 2025 emission factors: 1 kWh electricity (India) = 0.8 kg CO2, 1 km petrol car = 0.2 kg CO2, 1 kg beef = 27 kg CO2e.
