Transport – cars, trucks, public transport, domestic flights and shipping – is Australia’s second largest source of greenhouse gas pollution. The sector emitted 102 million tonnes carbon dioxide (MtCO2) in 2018, representing 18% of Australia’s annual greenhouse gas pollution. Transport emissions have the highest rate of growth of any
The myclimate car calculator determines the CO 2 emissions of a car that arise during a car journey. The calculation is made per car and not per person. It not only takes into account the direct emissions arising from fuel combustion but also so-called grey emissions. These arise from the production of the vehicle, the provision of road

CO 2 is the principle GHG. Although not directly harmful to our health, CO 2 emissions contribute to climate change. Gasoline engines produce 2.3 kg of CO 2 per litre of gasoline consumed. Diesel engines produce 2.7 kg of CO 2 per litre of
