This Wood Stove Emissions Calculator is a comprehensive web-based tool designed to help users understand and estimate the environmental impact of their wood-burning stoves.
The tool allows users to input key variables including wood type (with options for hardwoods, softwoods, and processed wood), annual wood consumption, usage patterns, and stove efficiency. It performs real-time calculations to estimate CO2 equivalent emissions (CO2e) across different time scales: annual, monthly, and hourly.
A unique feature of this calculator is its comparative analysis section, which shows equivalent emissions from alternative heating methods like natural gas, electric heating, and heat pumps. This helps users make informed decisions about their heating choices.
