Track Oakland Airport’s Emissions and Pollution at airporttracker.org

OAK total flight emissions = 2.30 million tonnes of CO2 per year.

  • These emissions from OAK are equivalent to 1,200,000 gas cars.

  • With a social cost of carbon at $190 per ton* these emissions come at a cost of $437 Million per year; and over 50 years that is $22 Billion.

    *The EPA says, "In principle, the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases (SC-GHG) is a comprehensive metric that includes the value of all future climate change impacts (both negative and positive), including changes in net agricultural productivity, human health effects, property damage from increased flood risk, changes in the frequency and severity of natural disasters, disruption of energy systems, risk of conflict, environmental migration, and the value of ecosystem services."

OAK total air pollution is 822 tonnes of NOx per year.

  • NOx and PM2.5 Emissions from OAK are equivalent to 310,000 gas cars per year.
