π²Carbon Reduction Effect
Planned for development
1. Carbon Calculator
β‘ If our bike produces 120Wh of electricity
The amount of electricity generated in a year is calculated as 120 Wh x 2 hours x 30 days x 12 months = 86,400 Wh, equivalent to 0.0864 MWh. Utilizing the carbon generation factor of 0.4434 tCO2eq/MWh, this yields a value of 0.0383 tCO2eq. Thus, approximately 0.0383 tons of carbon can be saved per year. Converting this to kilograms, we obtain 38 kg. Considering that pine trees are estimated to absorb about 12 kg of carbon dioxide per year, the cyclistβs annual carbon savings are equivalent to 3.2 pine trees.
β‘ If our bike produces 200Wh of electricity
The amount of electricity generated in a year is 200 X 2 X 30 X 12 = 144,000 Wh = 0.144 MWh, which, when calculated with the carbon generation factor of 0.4434 tCO2eq/MWh, gives a value of 0.0638 tCO2eq. This means that we save about 0.0638 tons of carbon per year. Converting this to Kg, we get 63 Kg. For pine trees, we estimate that they absorb about 12 Kg of carbon dioxide per year. In this case, the annual carbon savings of the biker is equivalent to 5.3 pine trees.
The use of electricity generated by movement reduces the use of electricity generated by traditional, less environmentally friendly methods, resulting in a reduction in carbon emissions. The Cyrus Project can reduce carbon emissions by converting users' kinetic energy into electricity, providing them with electricity and allowing them to use it in their homes.
If 10,000 Cyrus bikes are used by users to generate electricity through exercise, we calculate that the electricity generated by the bikes is approximately 120 Wh to 200 Wh on the assumption that users use them for 2 hours per day. The carbon savings is equivalent to replacing approximately 30,000 to 50,000 trees by calculating the amount of electricity generated by the users' exercise.
2. Carbon Reduction and Tree Planting Effect
If users utilize 10,000 bicycles for 2 hours each day, the carbon reduction effect is equivalent to planting at least 30,000 trees. This has the same impact as creating a forest to protect the planet and provides additional environmental benefits, including:
Improvement of Air Quality: By reducing carbon emissions through electricity generation, the concentration of harmful substances in the atmosphere is lowered, thus improving air quality.
Energy Conservation: Self-generation of electricity reduces dependency on external power grids, contributing to energy conservation.
Promotion of Sustainable Energy Use: The use of exercise-based electricity generation equipment promotes sustainable energy use and contributes to environmental protection.
Conclusion
Through the Cyrus project, users can manage their health while contributing to carbon reduction and environmental protection. This not only involves electricity generation but also provides various environmental benefits such as air quality improvement, energy conservation, and the promotion of sustainable energy use. In this way, users can practice environmental responsibility and play a crucial role in creating a sustainable future.
