Assuming that coal is essentially pure carbon, each 12 kg of coal will combust to form 44 kg of carbon dioxide (C+O2 -->CO2) a bit more than 3 times as much carbon dioxide as coal. A ton of carbon will burn to form about 3 tones of carbon dioxide.

How much CO2 will be produced by combustion of 2231 kg of coal?

The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced from burning coal varies depending on the type of coal and the combustion efficiency. On average, burning one ton (1000 kg) of coal produces around 2.86 tons of CO2. Therefore, for 2231 kg of coal, the approximate CO2 emissions would be around 6.38 tons.


How many pounds of coal yield the same energy as a barrel of oil?

Approximately 1,800 pounds of coal yield the same amount of energy as one barrel of oil. This is because coal has a lower energy density compared to oil, requiring a larger quantity of coal to produce the same amount of energy.

What is important to prevent from pullution of environment by producing coal electricity?

When burning coal to generate electricity, carbon dioxide (CO2) is formed. CO2 is one o the greenhouse gases supposed to be causing climate change. Sequestration of CO2 is where the CO2 is captured and returned to the earth for storage. This prevents the CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere and potentially causing climate change.


What is 200 billion pounds of coal converted into tons?

200 billion / 2000 (that is the amount of pounds in a ton) = one hundred million


How much CO2 is produced from burning coal?

Taking coal to contain 50 percent carbon, which combines with oxygen during burning to form CO2, we can arrive at 1.83 kg CO2 for every 1 kg of coal burned. Another way to put it, taking the efficiency of power stations into account, is that 950 grams of CO2 is evolved for every KWh of electricity produced. Note that for natural gas it is more like 600 g per KWh for natural gas powered plants.


How much CO2 is produced in 1 MW coal based power plant?

On average, 1 MW coal-fired power plant produces approximately 1 ton of CO2 for every 1 MWh (megawatt-hour) of electricity generated. This means that in one hour of operation, a 1 MW coal-based power plant would produce around 1 ton of CO2 emissions.
