Carbon Emissions Calculations Estimates
We use estimates
Calculating carbon emissions for individuals and companies is difficult due to the diverse sources of emissions, lack of standardized methodologies, data gaps, and inconsistencies in reporting. Additionally, varying regional factors and the dynamic nature of emissions pose challenges in accurately quantifying carbon footprints.
