How much CO2 does one Ecosia search generate?
Calculating the CO2 emissions of one Ecosia search is unfortunately impossible since Ecosia also accesses external servers. We have therefore decided to balance out 0.2 grams of CO2 per search. This is the same amount of CO2 generated by one Google search, according to Google. If Bing or Yahoo were to calculate and publish their CO2 emissions per search, we would certainly adjust our number accordingly. Ecosia uses Gold Standard projects to offset its emissions due to searches.
