TNIP Carbon Counter
The Department has developed a software tool, TNIP Carbon Counter, to compute the carbon footprint of aircraft operations based on the transparency concepts underpinning the Department’s aircraft noise disclosure software package TNIP (Transparent Noise Information Package).
TNIP Carbon Counter calculates fuel consumed for flight operations based on distance flown and by employing average fuel burn profiles for a generic set of main aircraft types. This simple methodology provides robust results when applied to a large number of aircraft operations such as those spanning a large network or period of time. Computations of the total aircraft fuel uplifted in Australia for the financial years 2008–09 and 2009–10 agreed with published fuel sales data within 2% for each year.
Download TNIP Carbon Counter v2.0 zip exe file [<28MB]. TNIP Carbon Counter has been developed using MS Access 2007. The ZIP file contains a sample aircraft operations dataset for demonstration purposes. The executable can be provided in other versions of MS Access on request. Version 2.0 of the software incorporates a number of enhancements largely in response to new carbon footprinting demands which are emerging as the field matures. These include:
The User Manual for Version 2.0 will be available for download from this site in the near future. |

Information on Passenger CO2 by Route
Information on the amount of CO2 generated by a passenger flying between two airports can be obtained very rapidly by using web based carbon calculators. Recognised calculators include:
- International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Carbon Emissions Calculator
- Qantas—Fly Carbon Neutral
