We picked up our hybrid car in Paks to continue the research trip in remote villages and took a photo of the kilometer gauge at the start of the journey so we would be able to account for our emissions.

Because of the nonexistent e-car infrastructure, we were not able to use an electric car, but we thought that having five people traveling together in a hybrid car was a good compromise. We spent 219 euros for the car rental, although we could have used a car with a combustion engine borrowed for free from a family member. In the carbon accountancy our efforts made no difference, the trip was calculated as if we traveled by a simple combustion engine car.

Emissions for the car trip: 66,9 kg CO2e

Emissions for the same trip with e-car: 23,3 kg CO2e
