∙ 15y ago
Planes reportedly produce 0.8320 lb CO2/ton-mile and ships 0.0146 lb CO2/ton-mile.
The other appended link shows the fuel use for each of several forms of transport (not just cargo vessels) but the data is extrapolatable to others

What is the organ that release carbon dioxide into the air?
Some actions that release CO2:Burning fuels such as wood, oil, or natural gasBreathing by people, animals, and plants (which respire carbon dioxide at night)Opening a soft drink bottle - all the bubbles are carbon dioxide.Chemical reactions, like baking soda and vinegar, or acid with carbonate rocksYeast doing its thing, making bread light and fluffy, and beer foamy
Does holiday travel contribute towards global warming?
Yes, it certainly does. Trains and boats and planes and cars all run on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which releases carbon dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas that is causing global warming. Strap a tent on your back, get on your bike, and head for the hills!
How do underground limestone caves form?
Dissolution of the limestone by rain & snow-melt water slightly acidified by absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide. It oozes through the rock's joints, bedding-planes & other discontinuities from surface to rising (spring). Eventually these initial micro-conduits start to coalescence and develop discrete passages.
Does the burning of gas cause global warming?
Gasoline is a fossil fuel, so burning it releases carbon dioxide from millions of years go. This extra CO2 is too much for the carbon cycle to deal with, so the normal greenhouse effect becomes an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
How is aluminum transported?
Well Many companies register ships in Nigeria and transport aluminum in their ships trains are used too. Planes are not used because aluminum is heavy so it wastes a lot of gas.
Fact about carbon dioxide produced by planes?
Carbon dioxide is produced by planes by the burning of non-reusable fuels
How can you stop carbon dioxide on planes?
Use a gorilla.
Does Carbon Dioxide come from planes?
obviously, if an EasyJet plane lifts of, it releases carbon dioxide from the engine, which gets released into the air, & that causes the earth to warm up, and then it will be the end of the world! NOTE: carbon dioxide is not produced by planes, so if it is the production of carbon dioxide, the answer is no, but it comes from fossil fuel, I think.
What can we do about carbon dioxide produced by planes?
you can use a different type of fuel

What are the emissions from jet planes?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide are the two main outputs from a jet engine.
Why do planes let off so much CO2?
Carbon dioxide is the product for burning reaction of kerosene.
Why there is increase in carbon dioxide gas?
More living things such as humans are being brought into existence, breathing out more carbon dioxide. Factories, cars and planes also contribute to rising carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere from the smoke they release. Plants such as trees are supposed to convert the carbon dioxide into oxygen, but we keep cutting them down. In short - because of the human race.
What are carbon dioxide emissions from planes?
It deepends on the specific aircraft. The appended link lets you compare each types emission
What can you do about cardon dioxide produced by planes?
That should be carbon dioxide. What can be done is to produce engines that burn fuel more cleanly than exisiting ones and that are more environment friendly.
What can you do about the carbon dioxide producing by planes?
we can stop this by clearing out all the fuels instead of the fuels getting bigger and mixing in to one massive clump.
