One reason is that electricity is produced very in different ways | Unfortunately, reliable multipliers are not yet available for all countries that are calculated the same way |

Unfortunately, reliable multipliers are not yet available for all countries that are calculated the same way | The multipliers have been pre-programmed into the CO 2nnect calculator and the calculations are done automatically for you |
For example, if you ride a big bus that is almost empty, or extremely full, the multipliers might not be very accurate for your trip to school.
22by animal transport : 0• Most of the multipliers we use in CO 2nnect have been taken from the UK Department of Environment Defra | Here is a list of the CO 2 multipliers we have selected to use in CO2nnect Figures denote kg CO 2 per km per passenger:• how the car is driven speed, idling, starting and stopping, acceleration, braking |

We are confident that the results will be accurate enough the educational purposes of CO 2nnect | Here is a list of the CO 2 multipliers we have selected to use in CO2nnect Figures denote kg CO 2 per km per passenger:• We chose to make the CO 2nnect calculator relatively simple so that pupils could spend more time learning about their local transport systems and working with others to find sustainable solutions |
Considering all of these possible sources of error, we are still confident that the results of CO 2nnect will be accurate enough for you to use your school results to discuss CO 2 emissions and work to reduce emissions in your school and local community.
Pupils will be measuring and entering the distance to school and the mode of transport | The main source of the electricity in a country hydropower, coal, nuclear, other would certainly make a big difference in the amount of CO 2 emitted from trains, trams or other transportation running on electricity! 53 We have tried to include the most common modes of transport to school across the globe - but we have probably missed some! The information on number and proportion of people using the various modes of transport should be quite accurate |

How accurate are the multipliers and the CO 2nnect results? There will always be some error in these measurements depending on the method used, and the distances are rounded up or down to the nearest kilometer | will have a different multiplier |
