Estimates based on IPCC, IEA, and Korean Ministry of Environment data. Actual emissions vary by vehicle type, grid, and diet. For educational reference only.

What is a carbon footprint?

It's the total amount of greenhouse gases (mainly CO₂) emitted directly or indirectly by an individual, organization, or country, measured in kg or tons of CO₂.

What's Korea's per-capita CO₂?

Korea emits ~11.7 tons CO₂ per capita per year (2024), above the OECD average. Cars, electricity, and meat are the main contributors.

How much CO₂ does one tree absorb?

A 30-year-old broadleaf tree absorbs about 22 kg of CO₂ per year. Younger saplings absorb much less.

What can I do for carbon neutrality?

Efficient energy use (LEDs, appliances), green transport (transit/bike/EV), diet shift (vegetarian/local), water saving, and recycling all add up.

What is a personal carbon footprint?

This personal carbon footprint calculator estimates CO₂ emissions from daily activities — driving, electricity use, and meat consumption — using IPCC guidelines and Korean Ministry of Environment statistics. Get monthly/yearly totals and an eco grade (A-E) compared to the Korean average (~11.7 tons/year).
