Combustion releases carbon dioxide, while methane leakage may add upstream climate impact. A calculation must state whether it covers combustion only or a wider fuel lifecycle.
Natural gas and greenhouse gases
Household consumption
Household use varies with climate, insulation, building size, occupancy, and heating settings. Use the cubic-metre value from a bill or meter and a factor that matches the reporting method.
CarbonCAM's current mobile release does not scan gas bills or calculate natural-gas emissions.
Improving heating efficiency
- Improve roof, wall, window, and pipe insulation.
- Maintain boilers and heating controls.
- Use appropriate temperature schedules.
- Track weather-normalized consumption before and after changes.
