How does Husqvarna Fleet Services™ calculate my carbon footprint?

Husqvarna Fleet Services™ estimates the CO₂ emissions of a machine using data from actual machine usage in combination with emission factors specific for each machine.

Here is how we estimate the carbon footprint for our machines:

 

 

Petrol or diesel-powered machines

 

 

Total Emissions = Rated Power [kW] * Fuel rate [g/kWh] * Fuel to COâ‚‚ conversion Coefficient * Engine Hours

Burning 1 liter of petrol fuel releases 2.3 kg of COâ‚‚ into the atmosphere.

Burning 1 liter of diesel fuel, releases 2.7 kg of COâ‚‚ into the atmosphere.

 

 

Electric machines

 

 

Total Emissions = Rated Power [kW] * Engine hours/Efficiency factor * Country Specific Emission Factor

The emission factor varies between countries depending on the sources for electricity in that country, for example, coal-based production versus use of renewable energy sources.
