Calculators

Calculators This calculator will work out liabilities using data averaged across New Zealand conditions.

Important notes:

This calculator should be used as a basic guide only.
It calculates 100% stock emissions. Under the ETS farm liabilities will be 10% of the total at 2015 and 50% by 2050. Please divide the total by 10 for liabilities at 2015 and by 2 at 2050.
Forestry data is derived from the look up tables in the Climate Change (Forestry Sector) Regulations 2008, and does not include the impacts of harvesting. Please see Info Sheet 12 on Carbon Forest Management here for more details.
For more specific information on carbon forest management not covered here or on our info sheet please contact a registered member of the New Zealand Institute of Forestry here.
Please note under the ETS soil and pasture carbon are not recognised, therefore they are not included in this calculator.
Liability = (emissions - sequestrations) x CO₂ price, if calculating forestry only, a negative liabilty means a positive amount.

Livestock emissions are based on the NZ's Greenhouse Gas Inventory July 2007.

The calculation does NOT include emissions from energy use or other purchases, as these emission liabilities will be accounted for in the retail costs:

Petrol, Diesel, Electricity
LPG
Fertiliser
