How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for Ribcraft Boats based on your distance in nautical miles and selected fuel type. Ribcraft rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) are engineered for performance, safety, and durability across commercial, military, and recreational applications.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel Used = Distance × Consumption Rate (liters per nautical mile)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Gasoline: 2.31 kg CO₂/liter
- Ethanol Blend: 2.00 kg CO₂/liter
