Generator Fuel Consumption Calculator

Generator Fuel Consumption Calculator

Generator Fuel & CO₂ Calculator

Estimate hourly fuel burn and emissions (Standard Diesel vs. HVO).

For peak reliability, generators are ideally sized to operate at roughly 75% load. Switching from standard fossil diesel to HVO (Renewable Diesel) can reduce net CO₂ emissions by up to 90%, all without requiring modifications to the engine.

*Fuel estimates assume a 0.8 power factor for kVA. CO₂ estimates assume ~2.68 kg CO₂ per litre for standard diesel. HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) values reflect a typical 90% reduction in net lifecycle carbon emissions. Actual figures vary by engine and fuel blend.
