Electricity generation from fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas is a major contributor to CO2 emissions. When these fuels are burned to produce electricity, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of combustion. This is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change.

What houses make electricity into co2?

There are NO houses that make electricity into CO2. Electrical equipment has no CO2 outlet. The CO2 is produced at the power plant that supplies the house, so when you plug in a kettle, for example, the generator at the power plant works a tiny bit harder and produces more CO2. The CO2 produced is closely matched with the power that is generated there.

How do you convert kwh to CO2 tons?

The amount of CO2 generated from electricity (kWh) is dependant upon the way the electricity is generated. Burning a barrel of oil to produce electricity yields far more CO2 than generating the same amount of electricity from wind or water. One should contact their electricity provider to get a break-down of how the electricity is generated.


Why does an energy efficient light bulb use less CO2?

An energy efficient light bulb uses less CO2 because it requires less electricity to function, which means less fossil fuels need to be burned to generate that electricity. Fossil fuels are a major source of CO2 emissions, so using less electricity results in lower CO2 emissions.
