## Equivalents
|
179 |
|
180 |
+
We have integrated impact equivalents to help people better understand the impacts and have reference points for
|
181 |
+
standard use cases and everyday activities.
|
182 |
|
183 |
+
### Request impacts
|
184 |
|
185 |
+
These equivalents are computed based on the request impacts only.
|
186 |
|
187 |
+
#### ๐ถโโ๏ธโโก๏ธ Walking or ๐โโ๏ธโโก๏ธ running distance
|
188 |
|
189 |
+
We compare the โก๏ธ direct energy consumption with the energy consumption of someone ๐ถโโ๏ธโโก๏ธ walking or ๐โโ๏ธโโก๏ธ running.
|
190 |
+
From [runningtools.com](https://www.runningtools.com/energyusage.htm) we consider the following energy values per
|
191 |
+
physical activity (for someone weighing 70kg):
|
192 |
|
193 |
+
* ๐ถโโ๏ธโโก๏ธ walking: $ 196\ kJ/km $ (speed of $ 3\ km/h $)
|
194 |
+
* ๐โโ๏ธโโก๏ธ running: $ 294\ kJ/km $ (speed of $ 10\ km/h $)
|
195 |
+
|
196 |
+
We divide the request energy consumption by these values to compute the distance traveled.
|
197 |
+
|
198 |
+
#### ๐ Electric Vehicle distance
|
199 |
+
|
200 |
+
We compare the โก๏ธ direct energy consumption with the energy consumer by a EV car. From
|
201 |
+
[selectra.info](https://selectra.info/energie/actualites/insolite/consommation-vehicules-electriques-france-2040) or
|
202 |
+
[tesla.com](https://www.tesla.com/fr_fr/support/power-consumption) we consider an average value of energy consumed per
|
203 |
+
kilometer of: $ 0.17\ kWh/km $.
|
204 |
+
|
205 |
+
We divide the request energy consumption by this value to compute the distance driven by an EV.
|
206 |
+
|
207 |
+
#### โฏ๏ธ Streaming time
|
208 |
+
|
209 |
+
We compare the ๐ GHG emissions of the request and of streaming a video. From
|
210 |
+
[impactco2.fr](https://impactco2.fr/outils/comparateur?value=1&comparisons=streamingvideo), we consider that
|
211 |
+
$ 1\ kgCO2eq $ is equivalent to $ 15.6\ h $ of streaming.
|
212 |
+
|
213 |
+
We multiply that value by the GHG emissions of the request to get an equivalent in hours of video streaming.
|
214 |
+
|
215 |
+
### Scaled impacts
|
216 |
+
|
217 |
+
These equivalents are computed based on the request impacts scaled to a worldwide adoption use case. We imply that the
|
218 |
+
same request is done 1% of the planet everyday for 1 year, and then compute impact equivalents.
|
219 |
+
|
220 |
+
$$
|
221 |
+
I_{scaled} = I_{request} * [1 \\% \ \text{of}\ 8B\ \text{people on earth}] * 365\ \text{days}
|
222 |
+
$$
|
223 |
|
224 |
### Number of ๐จ wind turbines or โข๏ธ nuclear plants
|
225 |
|
226 |
+
We compare the โก๏ธ direct energy consumption (scaled) by the energy production of wind turbines and nuclear power
|
227 |
+
plants. From [ecologie.gouv.fr](https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/eolien-terrestre) we consider that a $ 2\ MW $ wind
|
228 |
+
turbine produces $ 4.2\ GWh $ a year. And from [edf.fr](https://www.edf.fr/groupe-edf/espaces-dedies/jeunes-enseignants/pour-les-jeunes/lenergie-de-a-a-z/produire-de-lelectricite/le-nucleaire-en-chiffres)
|
229 |
+
we learn that a $ 900\ MW $ nuclear power plant produces $ 6\ TWh $ a year.
|
230 |
+
|
231 |
+
We divide the scaled energy consumption by these values to get the number of wind turbines or nuclear power plants
|
232 |
+
needed.
|
233 |
|
234 |
### Multiplier of ๐ฎ๐ช Ireland electricity consumption
|
235 |
|
236 |
+
We compare the โก๏ธ direct energy consumption (scaled) by the electricity consumption of Ireland per year. From
|
237 |
+
[wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electricity_consumption) we consider the Ireland
|
238 |
+
electricity consumption to be $ 33\ TWh $ a year for a population of 5M.
|
239 |
+
|
240 |
+
We divide the scaled energy consumption by this value to get the equivalent number of "Ireland countries".
|
241 |
|
242 |
### Number of โ๏ธ Paris โ New York City flights
|
243 |
|
244 |
+
We compare the ๐ GHG emissions (scaled) of the request and of a return flight Paris โ New York City. From
|
245 |
+
[impactco2.fr](https://impactco2.fr/outils/comparateur?value=1&comparisons=&equivalent=avion-pny) we consider that a
|
246 |
+
return flight Paris โ New York City โ Paris emits $ 1770\ kgCO2eq $ with an average passenger load of 101-220.
|
247 |
+
|
248 |
+
We divide the scaled GHG emissions by this value to get the equivalent number of return flights.
