2. Domestic coal consumed: kg per month kg CO2 equivalent / kg / year
3. Anthracite consumed: kg per month kg CO2 equivalent / kg / year
4. Charcoal consumed: kg per month kg CO2 equivalent / kg / year
5. Illuminating paraffin (kerosene): Liter LPper month kg CO2 equivalent / l / year
6. LPG: liter LPG per month kg CO2 equivalent / l / year
7. Wood: kg fuelwood (and braais) per month kg CO2 equivalent / kg / year
8. Gascor: m3 gas per month kg CO2 equivalent / m3 / year
