- Abstract
- The objective of the thesis is the development of a tool to track the greenhouse gas emissions of Belgian citizens in order to make them aware of their individual environmental impact resulting from their behavior and actions. At first, a methodology is established to estimate the emissions stemming from various activities or purchases. Databases are also searched to calculate the emission factors needed in our methodology. In a second part, a mobile application is developed which will help its users to track their emissions. The computation of the emissions is based on the work accomplished in the first part and the desired features of the application are determined by a public survey. In complement to the app, another tool to scan receipts is presented as well. We conclude with a case study of different consumption habits and the comparison of their emissions.
