Flutter package and sample app to calculate Flight CO2 emissions.

Flight CO2 Calculator

About

This plugin provides a collection of classes that can be used to:

  • Load a list of airports from the OpenFlights.org dataset.
  • Lookup airports matching a search query against the entire data-set of airports.
  • Calculate the distance and CO2 emissions from flights.

What you can do with this

Build a Flight CO2 Calculator app such as this:

How to use it

Load data:

List<Airport> airports = await AirportDataReader.load(‘data/airports.dat’);

Create an AirportLookup service:

final airportLookup = AirportLookup(airports: airports);

Search for airports matching a query:

List<Airport> results = airportLookup.searchString(query);

Calculate distance and CO2 emissions:

class FlightCalculationData {

  FlightCalculationData({this.distanceKm, this.co2e});

  final double distanceKm;

  final double co2e;

}

FlightCalculationData _calculate(FlightDetails flightDetails) {

  double distanceKm;

  double co2e;

  Airport departure = flightDetails.departure;

  Airport arrival = flightDetails.arrival;

  if (departure != null && arrival != null) {

    double multiplier =

        flightDetails.flightType == FlightType.oneWay ? 1.0 : 2.0;

    distanceKm = DistanceCalculator.distanceInKmBetween(

        departure.location, arrival.location);

    distanceKm = CO2Calculator.correctedDistanceKm(distanceKm);

    co2e =

        CO2Calculator.calculateCO2e(distanceKm, flightDetails.flightClass) *

            multiplier;

  }

  return FlightCalculationData(distanceKm: distanceKm, co2e: co2e);

}
