Engineering Formula
- Annual = E × EF
- Lifetime = Annual × Years
- Trees equivalent = kg / 21 (1 mature tree sequesters ~21 kg/yr)
Uses Indian CEA baseline of 0.82 kg CO₂/kWh (v20). US eGRID ≈ 0.37; EU ≈ 0.23. Substitute your local factor.
Step-by-step Calculation
- 1.Annual
E × EF12,300 kg - 2.Lifetime
× Years307,500 kg
Design Assumptions
- • Displaces marginal fossil generation.
- • Ignores manufacturing embodied CO₂ (~40 gCO₂/kWh EPBT ≈ 2 yr).
Engineering Tips
- ◆Quote both scope-2 and lifecycle numbers for ESG reports.
Warnings
- ▲Do not double-count if you also sell RECs / carbon credits.
