O2 Consumption Calculator
Calculate the approximate oxygen consumption of a human, transportation, energy production and other common activities.
Adopt a TreeCalculating the amount of oxygen consumed
The average person needs about 182 kg of O2 just for breathing per year. However, in developed countries, the total annual consumption associated with energy, transportation, food and everyday use can reach approximately 8 tons of O2.
The global average is approximately 3.8 tons of O2 per person and year. The data is approximate and serves to better understand the relationship between lifestyle, energy, transportation and nature conservation.
Human
The average person consumes approximately 350 liters of oxygen per day.
182 kg of O2 per yearDeveloped Countries
When energy, transportation, food and consumption of goods are considered, the consumption increases significantly.
Up to 8 tons of O2 per yearGlobal Average
The global value includes different living standards, transportation and industry.
3.8 tons of O2 per yearElectric Energy Production
The amount of oxygen needed to produce 1 kWh of electricity depends on the type of fuel and the efficiency of the power plant. The values provided are approximate.
Coal
Production of 1 kWh consumes approximately 1.15 kg of O2.
Natural Gas
Production of 1 kWh consumes approximately 0.576 kg of O2.
Oil
Production of 1 kWh consumes approximately 0.664 kg of O2.
Oxygen Consumption Calculation for Companies
For companies and organizations, oxygen consumption is estimated based on production activities, transportation, energy consumption, heating, cooling, lighting and other operational activities. A more precise calculation requires an individual audit.
O2 CALCULATOR
Balance your oxygen consumption.
Calculations are approximate, but they show an important connection: our lives, energy, transportation and production are all linked to oxygen consumption and the state of nature.
