Carbon Footprint of Coffee:
The carbon footprint of coffee varies depending on factors like the method of production, transportation, and preparation. On average, it is estimated that one cup of coffee has a carbon footprint of about 0.21 kg of CO2. This can vary; for instance, coffee made with a pod machine might have a higher footprint.
Annual Carbon Footprint:
Multiply your annual consumption by the carbon footprint per cup. Using the average figure, 365 cups/year * 0.21 kg CO2/cup = 76.65 kg CO2/year.
Cost of Carbon Offsets:
The price of carbon offsets can vary, but let’s assume an average of $10 per metric ton of CO2 (this rate can vary significantly).
Calculating Offset Cost:
* Convert your annual footprint to metric tons (76.65 kg is about 0.077 metric tons).
* Multiply this by the cost per ton. For example, 0.077 tons * $10/ton = $0.77 per year.
So, to offset the carbon footprint of drinking one cup of coffee per day for a year, it might cost you around $0.77. Offsetting the carbon footprint of consuming 3 cups a day over a span of 3 years is estimated to cost around $7
