Carbon emissions from human activities are not just heating up the globe, they are changing the ocean’s chemistry. This could soon be fatal to coral reefs, which are havens for marine biodiversity and underpin the economies of many coastal communities. Scientists from the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology have calculated that if current carbon dioxide emission trends continue, by mid-century 98% of present-day reef habitats will be bathed in water too acidic for reef growth. Among the first victims will be Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest organic structure. From the tropics to the ice fields, doom is big business. Travel agents report clients are increasingly requesting trips to see the melting glaciers of Patagonia, the threatened coral of the Great Barrier Reef, and the eroding atolls of the Maldives.

This section enables you to work out the CO2 emissions from the main areas of your business; building energy use and travel. To calculate your emissions, you will need to input some information. If you would like to offset your emissions, you can ask us to invoice you. Business CO2 calculator!

Each time we heat our homes, take a flight or drive the car, CO2 is added into the atmosphere. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that is released when fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal are burnt. Have a look at our 'Carbon Offsetting' animation. We can all take simple steps to reduce the amount of CO2 we produce and some helpful links are provided in our 'low carbon living' section.

Iedereen denkt bij CO2 aan het milieu of klimaat. CO2 wordt gewoon business. Het maakt Rotterdam aantrekkelijk voor Europese bedrijven die nu veel CO2 uitstoten. Woensdag ging in Rotterdam de vlag uit toen de Europese Commissie bekendmaakte dat bedrijven hun rechten op CO2-emissie straks moeten kopen. Daarmee wordt het afvangen en opslaan van CO2 sneller rendabel. Het broeikasgas komt zo niet in de lucht en geldt dus niet als emissie. CO2 wordt een product. Een mogelijke infrastructuur voor het transport ligt er al: de ondergrondse pijpen vanuit Groningen of zelfs Rusland die ons nu van aardgas voorzien.
