Brick Kiln Carbon Calculator
Kiln coal → CO₂e; zig-zag conversion savings quantified.
A conventional kiln burns 12–18 t of coal per lakh bricks; zig-zag retrofits cut fuel ~20% and pay back in seasons. Enter the monthly coal bill — the 10% reduction row scales to whatever the retrofit actually achieves.
Traditional FCBTK brick kilns burn 12–18 tonnes of coal per lakh bricks. Every unit of coal (kg) burned releases 2.42 kg CO₂e (IPCC default, combustion only). Fuel emissions and fuel bills fall together — the business case and the carbon case are the same case.
Screening-level estimate using published average emission factors. Audited disclosures (BRSR, GRI, CDP) require primary activity data and verified factors — confirm with your sustainability auditor.

Frequently asked questions
How much CO₂ comes from a litre of diesel or petrol?+
Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂e/L; petrol: 2.31; LPG: 2.98/kg; CNG: 2.75/kg; coal: ~2.42/kg (grade-dependent) — IPCC combustion defaults. Multiply by your purchase volume and the Scope 1 line writes itself. The carbon is fixed chemistry; only the volume is negotiable.
Why track fuel emissions monthly instead of annually?+
Because fuel is bought monthly and decisions are made monthly: a generator running long this month shows up now, not in a year-end surprise. Monthly lines also build the evidence trail (invoices ↔ entries) that assurance and audits sample.
What's the fastest way to cut fuel emissions?+
Displace, then improve: solar+storage against generator hours, electric against ICE kilometres, heat pumps or biomass against boiler fuel — displacement zeroes the line. Where the fuel must stay, maintenance and load management deliver the 10–20% the reduction row prices.
Do these factors include upstream (well-to-tank) emissions?+
No — combustion only, the Scope 1 convention. Upstream extraction/refining/transport adds ~15–25% but belongs in Scope 3 category 3. Keep the boundaries clean: this number is defensible precisely because it claims only what your chimney emits.
