Below you will find links to tools which can allow you to estimate the impacts of various actions and activities. These are not currently linked with certifications, but are a free tool to use as you wish. Some are managed by SPARKHub, and some are links to other open-access calculators which are deemed relevant.
This calculator has been developed by utilising real-life data of actual equipment within laboratory settings. It provides users with the ability to estimate the operational carbon and energy consumption, as well as estimate the cost of running it. It provides recommended steps to improve operation, and outlines the impacts of these steps.
Common Laboratory Equipment Calculator
This calculator has been developed using open-access emission factors for both chemicals as well as plastics and consumables. There are two separate versions, one which looks specifically as the chemicals, and one which looks at physical consumables.
Laboratory Consumables Calculators (plastics and chemicals)
Click here to find the Green Algorithms Calculator, which was developed by Loïc Lannelongue and Michael Inouye at the University of Cambridge. It assists in estimating the emissions associated with computation.
Green Algorithms Calculator
A carbon calculator for clinical researchers to estimate their clinical trials’ total greenhouse gas emissions. The tool empowers all stakeholders involved in public and private sector clinical research to target effective decarbonisation strategies by estimating the overall footprint and highlighting high impact activities associated with their trials.
Clinical Trial Carbon Calculator
Developed by The Company of Biologists, this calculator allows organisers to estimate an event’s total CO 2 emissions and see how different actions would decrease the carbon footprint. It also provides blogs and advice for further recommendations.
Events Carbon Calculator
Compare the energy consumption, the CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts for planes, cars and trains in passenger transport
Travel Emissions Calculator
The GCC Carbon Calculator is a free online tool for estimating the greenhouse gas emissions of art organisations and projects.
Arts Project or Organisation Calculator
The Analytical GREEnness calculator is a tool intended to aid the User in evaluating the environmental and occupational hazards associated with a particular analytical procedure based on the 12 principles of Green Analytical Chemistry.
