How many tons of co2 does America release in a year?
369 million tons
How much is 5.5 metric tons in pounds?
How much is 5.5 metric tons of CO2 in pounds
In what sense is energy from coal actually solar energy?
Coal is derived from plant material which was produced by solar energy during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is roughly H20 + CO2 + solar energy = Ch20 + O2, which converts CO2 and water to oxygen and plant material as the plant grows.
If a microbe uses Co2 for carbon and H2 for energy the microbe is?
chemoautroph
What energy source does not add CO2 to the atmosphere?
CO2 (carbon dioxide) is produced when things are burned - for example wood, petroleum (and petroleum products such as gasoline), and coal. Most energy sources that don't rely on burning won't produce carbon dioxide. This includes nuclear energy (although nuclear energy does have other environmental problems), wave energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, and wind energy.
How many tons of co2 does America release in a year?
369 million tons
When converting CO2 emissions to tons is metric tons the standard?
The answer is yes. The EIA (Energy Information Administratoin, part of the united states government) use metric tons for measuring CO2 equivalent, therefore it should be (or is) the standard.
How much CO2 is produced in 1 MW coal based power plant?
2600 tonnes of CO2 is released in 1mw of power generation
How many metric tons of CO2 can a tree fix in a year?
An acre of trees generally is considered to be the equivalent of .1586546 metric tons of CO2. Generally the formula goes "acres of land = Metric tons of CO2 x 6.303"
Which isn't a renewable of energy?
HYDRO ELECTRICAL,SOLAR,and WIND, are all renewable energy however Coal and oil are not the release thusnds of tons of Co2 in to the air
How many tons does the US generate per year?
That depends on what substance the question refers to. For example . . . Gold: very few tons Diamonds: even fewer tons Enriched uranium: several tons CO2: copious tons Trash: megatons

How much CO2 does a train emmit?
18 & 1/2 tons per second. All in all there's about 2875640 Billion tons of co2 emitted everyday.
How much energy does the US consume yearly?
Measured in tons of oil equivalent, the total energy usage is 7 tons per person per year (2011 figure), that's 22 tons of CO2 produced per person per year. Electricity usage is 13,395 kilowatt-hours per person per year (2010).
Why does an energy efficient light bulb use less CO2?
There are different ways to produce energy, but many of them involve burning some substance - for example, petroleum - that produces CO2.
During the energy extraction part of the Krebs cycle how many molecules of CO2 are released?
the answer is 2!
How much CO2 does the average bus produce?
30 tons of bullcrap
