FATGAS
Understand the climate — greenhouse gases, carbon footprints, clean energy, and the tools to measure your impact.
From sizing up your carbon footprint and weighing a flight's emissions to comparing an electric car, costing out your home energy and rooftop solar, and putting your carbon in perspective, FatGas.com pairs free hands-on climate calculators with clear guides and a richly illustrated museum. Measure your impact, act with confidence.
Climate Tools & Calculators
Free tools to measure your impact — carbon footprint calculator, flight emissions calculator, EV savings calculator, home energy calculator, solar savings calculator, and carbon offset calculator.
Carbon Footprint Calculator
Add up your home energy, driving, flights, and diet to see your annual carbon footprint in kilograms and tonnes of CO2 — plus what it works out to per day and which sources dominate
Flight Emissions Calculator
Estimate the CO2 of any flight from its distance, passengers, and cabin class, with a round-trip option — per passenger and in total — to weigh the climate cost before you book
EV Savings Calculator
Compare a gas car and an electric vehicle over the same yearly miles to see how much you'd save on fuel and how much CO2 you'd avoid, using your own prices and local grid intensity
Home Energy Calculator
Turn your monthly electricity use into annual kilowatt-hours, cost, and CO2 emissions using your utility rate and local grid carbon intensity — your home's yearly energy footprint
Solar Savings Calculator
Estimate a rooftop solar system's annual production, bill savings, simple payback period, and CO2 avoided from its size, your sun hours, electricity rate, and install cost
Carbon Offset Calculator
Translate a quantity of CO2 into tangible terms — the trees needed to absorb it in a year, the cost to offset it at your chosen price, and the equivalent miles of driving
Climate & Earth Museum
Wander an immersive museum of the forces shaping our climate — the greenhouse gases and the carbon cycle, the fossil fuels and the clean-energy technologies replacing them, the oceans, ice, and atmosphere that regulate the planet, and the science of a warming world, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the story behind the climate crisis: how it came to be, why it matters, and what it will take to turn it around.
