Hungary amongst countries with the smallest carbon footprints
A new study has revealed the countries with the smallest carbon footprint, and with 79g of carbon emissions per passenger per km, Hungary features in the top 10.
The experts at Utility Bidder have carried out research to reveal the UK airports and countries with the biggest and smallest carbon footprints by analysing the number of carbon emissions emitted per person per km.

On Utility Bidder’s top three list of countries/territories with the lowest levels of airport-related carbon emissions is Hungary. Airports here are currently producing around 79g of carbon emissions per passenger per km, and while this is the third lowest in the world, there is still room for improvement.
The research has also revealed:
- Jersey Airport produces 156g of carbon emissions per passenger per km which is the highest figure in the UK, followed by London City with 154g per passenger per km.
- Glasgow Prestwick Airport produces 64g of carbon emissions per passenger per km which is the lowest figure in the UK, followed by Bournemouth with 67g per passenger per km.
- Airports in Luxembourg emit 104g of carbon emissions per passenger per km which is the highest in the world, closely followed by the US Virgin Islands with 103g per passenger per km.
So long as the elites fly around the globe in their private jets and crisscross the oceans in their mega-yachts, I won’t give so much as a turtlehead about my “carbon footprint.”
