Counting CO₂ Reduction
All this talk about ‘tonnes of CO₂’ can sometimes make the reductions achieved hard to visualise. How much energy does a ton of CO₂ equate to? On this page, we try to give you some context on the collective reductions airports have reported for this year and previous years.
2024-2025
0 of CO₂ (equivalent to producing about 136,000 tonnes of chocolate)
2023-2024
0 of CO₂ (enough to power over 200,000 households for a year)
2022-2023
0 of CO₂ (equivalent to the CO₂ emitted by more than 250,00 cars for a year)
2021-2022
0 of CO₂ (equivalent to the CO₂ emitted by the production of more than 81 million cotton t-shirts)
2019-2021
0 of CO₂ (equivalent to the full lifecycle emissions of 4,967,400 iPhones)
July 2018 – June 2019
0 of CO₂ (equivalent to emissions from 767 million hours of video streaming in HD)
July 2017 – June 2018
0 of CO₂ (It is equal to the CO₂ sequestered by 8,158,834 seedlings grown for 10 years)
July 2016 – June 2017
0 of CO₂ (It is equal to the CO₂ emitted during the lifecycle of 2,128,252 iPhones)
July 2015 – June 2016
0 of CO₂ (enough to power over 86,000 households for a year)
July 2014 – June 2015
0 of CO₂ (equivalent to the annual CO₂ sequestered by 1,496 acres of forest)
July 2013 – June 2014
0 of CO₂ (equivalent to removing 31,894 cars from the roads)
July 2012 – June 2013
0 of CO₂ (enough to power 45,949 households for a year)
July 2011 – June 2012
0 of CO₂ (enough to power 32,490 households for a year)
July 2010 – June 2011
0 of CO₂ (equivalent to removing over 12,700 cars from the roads)
July 2009 – June 2010
0 of CO₂ (equivalent to the annual CO₂ sequestered by 399 acres of forest).
