Café / Coffee Shop Carbon Calculator
Scope 1/2 screening footprint for a café / coffee shop with per-seat intensity benchmark.
Cafés run espresso machines, fridges and AC dawn to midnight — per-seat carbon comparisons across outlets find the branch with the leaking compressor. Feed in the monthly bills; the tool returns a defensible Scope 1/2 inventory and the per-seat intensity that comparisons and questionnaires want.
GHG Protocol screening inventory for a Café / Coffee Shop: Scope 1 = fuel × factor (diesel 2.68, petrol 2.31 kgCO₂e/L), Scope 2 = kWh × grid factor (0.716 kg/kWh for India (CEA avg)). Full Scope 3 needs purchased goods & services data — start with the big rocks shown here.
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
What are Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions?+
Scope 1: fuels your business burns directly — generator diesel, kitchen LPG, company vehicles. Scope 2: emissions embedded in purchased electricity. Together they're the 'operational footprint' every customer ESG questionnaire and BRSR-lite request asks for first; Scope 3 (value chain) comes later.
How accurate is a bill-based carbon footprint?+
For Scopes 1–2, very: utility bills and fuel purchases are exact activity data, and published factors (CEA grid, IPCC fuels) are the same ones consultants use. Expect ±5% versus a paid screening study — the gaps appear only in Scope 3 territory.
What should a small business do with this number?+
Three things: answer customer/lender ESG requests with confidence; find the biggest line (usually electricity or diesel) and attack it — efficiency and rooftop solar cut both carbon and cost; and baseline this year so next year shows a trend. The trend is what buyers reward.
Why does the Café / Coffee Shop Carbon Calculator ask for my grid region?+
A kWh's footprint depends entirely on what made it: India's coal-heavy grid ≈0.716 kg/kWh, France's nuclear grid ≈0.06. The same office moves 10× in Scope 2 by geography — region-correct factors are the difference between accounting and guessing.
