None! Its called Petrol here, not gasoline! We use comparatively little to America, as our cars generally have smaller engines. I will attempt to make a rough estimate here for you but cant guarentee it will be anywhere near correct. Approximate number of cars in UK: 25 Million Average mileage per household: 7,000miles per year Average household cost of petrol: £20 per week Litres bought for £20: Aprroximately 20 Litres used per car per year: 1040 Litres of Petrol per year for 25 Million cars: 26,000,000,000 Litres per gallon: Roughly 4 (U.K gallons NOT U.S) Gallons of Petrol per year for 25 Million cars: 6,500,000,000 Of course this all assumes that every one of the 25Million cars in the UK is roadworthy and is used on a regular basis, which is not the case. All numbers are approximate and may be too high or too low; people all get different amounts of usage out of their vehicle, and bare in mind that some are permanantly off the road, in a scrap yard or not registered yet. Also, this does not take into consideration other types of vehicle, such as boats, agricultural and plant machinary, motorcycles/quad bikes, HGVs, military vehicles, off-road-only sports vehichles, and other types of Petrol usage such as starting bonfires and running generators, lawn mowers, chainsaws, etc, so you can probably treble the number above!

∙ 12y agoTry not to confuse energy with power. A gigawatt is a unit of power. If somebody uses a certain amount of watts, or gigawatts, that would be used permanently (or on average), not "per year" or "per day".

What is the average carbon footprint per household per year in the us?
The UK produces about two per cent of the world's CO2 emissions. Only two per cent of the UK's CO2 emissions derive from private motorised transport.
How many tons of CO2 emissions per therm of natural gas?
According to U.S. EPA, Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2004, 1 therm of natural gas burnt produces 11.7 lbs. of carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, the Carbon Coefficient for natural gas is: 117 pounds of CO2 per million BTU, or 0.12 pounds per cubic foot of gas.
How much carbon dioxide does a bus produce for each gallon of gas?
I can do this in metrics. One litre of gasoline (about 1/5 gallon) produces about 2.3 kilograms of carbon dioxide. Buses are usually more efficient in terms of carbon dioxide emissions per passenger than cars carrying just one or two passengers.
How much CO2 emissions does a normal aeroplane release?
30 kg per kilometre for a 747
What country produces the most carbon dioxide per person?
This is a complex question. If we are talking about countries the per capita emissions of the top twenty countries the answer is Australia according to the Union of Concerned Scientists (as of 2008). If we are talking about total per capita emissions of any country regardless of the size or total output, the answer is Qatar. See links below.

How much carbon dixiode does an airplane produce?
every 2,062 miles travelled accounts for 1 ton of Carbon Dioxide emissions per person.
How much have the world's CO2 level risen in a decade?
In 2003 carbon dioxide emissions were 370 ppm (parts per million). This year (2013) they reached 400 ppm. At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution they had been 280 ppm for thousands of years.

Is Australia below the world average of total greenhouse gases emissions?
No, in fact, Australia has the highest per capita emissions in the world. That means that the average person in Australia has a carbon footprint larger than a citizen of any other country. (Australia's total emissions are lower than countries with a much larger population.)
How much carbon monoxide per year for a car?
Almost none. The combustion in a car engine is nearly complete.
Which countries produce the most greenhouse gas emissions?
In the year 2000, North America had the highest GHG emissions per capita at 19.9 tonnes per capita!
How does the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted by volcanoes compare with the amount of carbon dioxide that is added to the atmosphere as a result of human activities?
On average less than 1%. It is estimated that volcanoes emit on average 200 million tonnes of CO2 a year. This includes all volcanoes, hot springs and and undersea hydrothermal vents. Humans emit 26 billion tonnes (2003) a year by burning fossil fuels. The gas burnt onsite at oil wells in gas flares accounts for more CO2 emissions than all volcanoes put together.
What is Carbon Neutrality and who provides its services?
Carbon Neutrality means having a balance between emitting GHGs and avoiding/absorbing GHGs from the atmosphere in carbon sinks. Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then storing it is known as carbon sequestration. In order to achieve net-zero emissions, worldwide greenhouse gas emissions will have to be counterbalanced by carbon sequestration. A carbon sink is any system that absorbs more carbon than it emits. The main natural carbon sinks are soil, forests, and oceans. According to estimates, natural sinks remove between 9.5 and 11 Gt of CO2 per year. Annual global CO2 emissions reached 37.1 Gt in 2017. To date, no artificial carbon sinks are able to remove carbon from the atmosphere on the necessary scale to fight global warming. The carbon stored in natural sinks such as forests is released into the atmosphere through forest fires, changes in land use, or logging. This is why it is essential to reduce carbon emissions in order to reach carbon neutrality. EnKing International offers Carbon Neutrality services across the globe with which you can plan your journey towards the climate ambition of 'Becoming Carbon Neutral'.
