A typical modern wind turbine has a capacity of two megawatts (MW) and is expected to save emissions of over 1,880 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) in an average year.

How much less Co2 would an average household produce if they had a residential wind turbine?
I would say... about 20% less
How much amount of energy can produce one day in windmill?
If the wind is 0.015 W/km.t then it will preduce 85 %. That means you can have your lights on a whole day, without the electricity will crash. A 1 MW wind turbine running for 1 day produces 24 MWh of energy, in other words 24,000 kh or 24,000 units. That energy might have been generated in a coal-fired power plant which exhausted 24 tons of CO2 in the atmosphere. With the wind turbine running the coal-powered station produces less energy and less CO2, so that wind turbine in those conditions saves 24 tons of CO2 going into the atmosphere each day.
How much co2 does floor insulation save?
It saves around 350kg of co2 a year
How is Co2 reduction accomplished by your solar panels comparable to other types of saving energy?
Solar panels save CO if you accept that electricity generation normally produces CO2 when the fuel is burnt. 1 kWh of electric energy results in about 1 kg of CO2 from a conventional power plant, so if that 1 kWh were generated by solar, that saves 1 kg of CO2. 1 kWh generated by a wind turbine also saves 1 kg of CO2. In this equation you also have to consider any CO2 emitted at the factories that make the solar panels etc., but this is not very much.
How much electricity do wind turbines produce?
A wind turbine can produce electricity, also called ( clean electricity). The amount of electricity varies about the seize of the turbine. The scientific word for electricity is also MG ( megawatts).Wind turbines can also produce some thing else. WATER ! If the wind trubine is connected to the pipe lines, then the wind flow pushes the water in the pipes to your house. A regular wind turbine can be like this: Wind energy represents nearly 5% of the US electrical generation and is targeted to reach 20% in the future. Wind turbine output need to be gathered, stepped-up to transmission levels and passed across interconnected power grids to the end users. Wind Turbine Step-Up Transformers play a critical part in this process. Most wind systems produce roughly 7 to 8% of what they are rated to produce. This is because of the science has not yet developed to the point where they produce more energy then they take to create. A typical wind turbine is rated for a constant 28 mph wind. (A very rare event). If the wind gust above this amount, the wind system is forced to shutdown. If the wind blows at 14 mph average, we see less then 10% rated. Because of this, fossil fuel plants run in the background and produce CO2 as before, but are not considered to be producing any pollution for power. A typical 1 MWh system will produce about 80,000 KWh of actual power when operating. They also require significant maintenance which further restricts their usefulness. Larger systems are even less efficient.
In earth hour how much CO2 gas emitions did you save the planet by?
42 tons No jokes
What source of energy does not produce carbon dioxide when it is used?
Wind energy being used in wind mill would not produce CO2 Nuclear power plants would not produce CO2 Hydropower would not produce CO2 Why not? Solar energy in case of solar cells would not produce CO2
Is wind bad for the environment?
A bit, as there is CO2 in the air and wind made by humans.
Where did the british obtain Canada?
Wind power and CO2
How much CO2 can you save if you ride a bike?
Depends entirely on how much riding the person does, and what the person would have done otherwise. If the person is riding a bicylce instread of using an motorized vehicle, then some CO2 will be saved. If the person is riding instead of walking, then there's no difference.
How environment friendly are wind turbines?
they produce no CO2 so there good
Why is wind energy not a major energy source?
Due to current technological, economic and political issues. From a technology standpoint, wind is still not a truly value source of power. The newer systems are much better, but as far as real power they are not yet a workable solution. A typical wind turbine produces about 8% of the stated "rated" power. Variances I. Wind speed make this value unstable enough that fossil fuel plants run, on standby to support these systems. That means no real fuel savings or reduction in CO2. The hope is that someday this power source will be able to produce more power than they consume.
