How do factories release carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

This depends both upon their Size and what they use for their source of Energy.

In terms of total human output of CO2, we produce about 6% of the total annually produced CO2. The rest is a naturally occurring release. In terms of tonnes of CO2, the total is about 6 gigatonnes. The atmosphere holds about 720 billion tons of CO2.

Answer 2

About 7 billion tons of coal is presently mined each year. While some of this is used to make coke for steel blast furnaces, most of it ends up being burned in coal power plants. Coal is carbon twelve, but during oxidation it combines with diatomic oxygen (O16) to form CO2. In other words, one ton of coal releases over 2.8 tons of CO2.

World wide, nearly 20 billion tons of CO2 is emitted by coal fired power plants each year, at the present time. As China and other nations continue expanding coal production, this is expected to rise a little bit in the ensuing years.

Answer 3

This is almost an impossible number of accurately determine. The power consumed by the manufacture of food is the primary cause of CO2. The energy used by tractors to plant and harvest also contribute. As far as man's contributions to CO2 levels this is a non deal issue. Over half of man's CO2 production is from heating and cooling homes. A large portion of the remaining is from our transportation issues. This leaves only a very small portion of our output left to be blamed on other things.

Man produces about 6% of all CO2 and about 0.28% of all greenhouse gases.

Answer 4

When the steam boilers or blast furnaces, etc. are used, the fires may not be drawing enough oxygen resulting in incomplete combustion causing the emissions to contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is a poisonous gas. Complete combustion (sufficient oxygen) results in emissions containing carbon dioxide (CO2) which is not only safe to breathe but is imperative to sustain plant growth. Many factories monitor the flue gases in the exhaust to ensure enough oxygen (O2) is present for complete combustion but sometimes the air supply is not enough. It is the fires that cause the release of carbon dioxide which is contributing to global warming.

Answer 5

Factories release carbon dioxide during the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas for energy production and industrial processes. This combustion emits carbon dioxide as a byproduct, contributing to the greenhouse gas emissions from industrial activities.

Answer 6

If you count coal fired power plants as factories, emissions are in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 billion tons per year.
