Welcome to Carbon & Place
We provide free tools to allow communities, planners, and policymakers in the UK to understand their local carbon footprint.
Based on the latest research and the best available data, we explore how carbon footprints change between neighbourhoods and how the path to net-zero will vary between places.

Place-Based Carbon Calculator (legacy)
Launched in 2020 by the Centre for Research in Energy Demand Solutions (CREDS). The PBCC allows you to view how neighbourhood carbon footprints vary across England. This version of the PBCC is now being archived in preparation for the launch of a new version (see below).
