How Much CO2 in a Gallon?
Pounds weight of a gallon 6.3
% carbon molecules 87%
Pounds of carbon ________
Multiply by CO2 weight 44/12 3.7
Pounds per gallon ________
www.beckstrom.com
Some Basic Measures
One gallon generates 20 lbs If car gets 20 mpg- 1 lb. of CO2 per mile 110 gallons = 1 metric ton of CO2 500 tons per $1M production is global average 890 bls of CO2 per barrel of oil 1.7 lbs of CO2 from Kwh electricity
