This is a prototype emissions calculator built to compare emissions from the different farm management systems we are implementing in our Carbon Positive Trial. It is very Beta!! See the disclaimer a the bottom of the page. We’d love people to try it out and give us feedback.

Compare greenhouse gas emissions across cropping management scenarios
Rows are assigned to one of these scenarios. CSV rows whose scenario name does not match are flagged and left out.
Rates are kg of product per hectare. Choosing a listed product fills its type and analysis. Type sets the field emission factor: nitrogen types use kg N, lime and dolomite use kg product.
CSV columns: Date, Crop, Scenario, Product, Type, Rate (kg product/ha), N%, P%, K%, S%
Diesel litres per hectare per pass. Total litres = L/ha x passes x area cropped.
CSV columns: Date, Crop, Scenario, Operation, Fuel use (L/ha), Number of passes
Head is the total number of animals grazing the block (not per hectare). Emissions = head x per-head annual factor x days / 365.
CSV columns: Date, Crop, Scenario, Livestock type, Emission source (enteric / excreta / all), Head (total), Duration (weeks)
One row per active ingredient. Manufacturing emissions use a per-category factor unless a factor override is entered.
CSV columns: Date, Crop, Scenario, Product, Type, Active ingredient, AI concentration, Rate (L or kg product/ha), Unit (g/L, g/kg or %; default g/L), Factor override (kg CO2-e/kg AI, optional)
kWh = hours x kW for the whole machine (not per hectare). The grid factor is chosen by the year of the date.
CSV columns: Date, Crop, Scenario, Machine, Operating hours, Kilowatts
