How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for Vard workboats based on your input distance and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel/Energy Used = Distance × Consumption Rate (liters or kWh per nautical mile)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel/Energy Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable source)
