Carbon calculator

Independently verified

The figures used by the calculator have been independently verified, and the methodology follows the internationally recognised Green House Gas Protocol.

Enter new markets

By gaining deeper insights into your machine or fleet's emissions you can participate in carbon markets and carbon farming.

Use in official reporting

Your calculated carbon footprint (given in tonnes of Carbon dioxide equivalent) can be used in official emissions reporting to meet investors' and customers' requirements.

Achieve carbon neutrality

Easily estimate the number of carbon credits you need to purchase to achieve carbon neutrality or use the data to inform your carbon reduction plan to fulfil your net-zero pledge.

SGS has verified the carbon calculator for the Valtra tractor fleet, which calculates the Scope 1 emissions (direct emissions for the tractor’s user) based on GHG Protocol technical guidance. The calculator includes Carbon Dioxide emissions (CO2; emission factor from co2emissiefactoren.nl for fossil diesel) and possible Methane emissions (CH4; using conservative proxy data for Stage V engines, GWP value 36); NOx emissions are not included in the calculator. The fuel usage data is derived from AGCO’s Fuse® and includes primary fuel consumption data under varying field conditions. The four engine bucket loads denote: 0-25% regular driving mode, 25-50% loader mode, 50-75% mixed farming mode, 75-100% arable mode. The calculator includes a comparison with NesteMy renewable biodiesel for which emission factor is 0, given that the fuel use phase does not result in additional direct CO2 emissions.
