Making Education
Interactive

The foundation of our platform lies in robust, high-quality data. Our emission factor database has been built over several years through meticulous manual validation, ensuring transparency and scientific credibility.

Each emission value used in the VirtualEcoExplorer is grounded in the same database that powers GreenhouseCalculator.com - our trusted, standalone carbon footprint tool that serves thousands of monthly users. The data is regularly reviewed and sourced from internationally recognized environmental agencies and lifecycle assessment databases.
