  • CFP Index (CFPI) is calculated considering specific intensity of GHG emissions e.g. per km of travel, per sq. m. of residential area etc. A low carbon footprint intensity (CFPI) along with a low personal carbon footprint (CFP) means that you are "climate friendly".



    Personal Carbon Footprint (CFP) considers the GHG emissions from activities pertaining to the day to day personal life of an individual such as electricity use, transportation, cooking and waste generation.
    The sum of GHG emission from these activities over a year, measured in units of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), is his/her "personal carbon footprint".
