It depends on the model. A typical truck emits 30 or more POUNDS of CO2 for 15-20 miles.

How much carbon dioxide does each light bulb emit?
None. Light bulbs do not emit carbon dioxide. The electricity used to power the light bulb may have been produced by a method which emits carbon dioxide (then again, it may not have), but the bulb itself doesn't emit anything except heat and light.
Do plants emit carbon dioxide?
Plants do produce carbon dioxide, however, the amount they produce is generally a net NEGATIVE amount. Plants, like all carbon based life forms known to date produce carbon dioxide as they use energy for biological work. This is part of the normal functioning of cells that they require oxygen in order to do this work, during which they are consuming oxygen and sugars, bonding carbon with oxygen in the process creating carbon dioxide. If they did not do this, they could not grow, and could not repair damage. HOWEVER, plants also take in carbon dioxide and use it combined with light energy in photosynthesis. This process separates the carbon and oxygen molecules, and the carbon is utilized in the preparation of stored energy ("food"). The oxygen molecules are released into the atmosphere. In a healthy plant through the bulk of its life, the plant produces more oxygen and removes more carbon dioxide than it uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. Exact amounts will vary based on available light, plant species, water, atmospheric condition and overall health of the plant. In >general< the more green you see on the plant, the more of the plant involved in photosynthesis and the more oxygen it produces. however, this does not tell you how much oxygen it uses (and thus how much carbon dioxide it produces). but in general, plants (and other chlorophyll laden life forms) consume more carbon dioxide than they create.
How much carbon can 22 grams of carbon dioxide make?
6 grams
Is there more nitrogen or carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere?
There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
Which processes in the carbon cycle decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Plants and trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also absorbs carbon dioxide, so much now that it is becoming more acidic.
How much carbon dioxide does a Lorry emit?
500g
How much carbon dioxide does the Olympic torch emit?
5500 tons of carbon dioxcide

How much carbon dioxide does a bus emit?
A small bus can emit 270 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre. (Australian figures). This might be the equivalent of about 21 tonnes of Carbon dioxide (CO2) a year for a bus driving 60,000 km (36,000 miles).
How much carbon dioxide does a commercial jet emit on a 5 hour flight?
Excellent question !!
How much carbon dioxide is created by ferries?
Global carbon dioxide emissions are 26 gigatonnes (26 billion tonnes) of carbon dioxide annually (2013).Carbon dioxide from all shipping is 4% to 5% of global emissions (1,300,000,000 (1.3 billion) tonnes).Ferries make up less than 1% of all shipping.So ferries probably emit around 13,000,000 (13 million) tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
How much carbon does a lawnmower emit?
lots

How much less carbon dioxide do fuel cell cars emit?
Fuel cell cars use hydrogen to drive the fuel cell in the car which generates electricity. The only emissions are water and heat. No carbon dioxide at all. (The production of the hydrogen will have a carbon footprint, unless it was produced using renewable energy.)
How much percent of carbon dioxide have in Sprite?
Sprite has 6% of carbon dioxide
What are mitigations taken on climate change?
In the case of Canada we sink massive amounts of carbon using forest and cold oceans. That mitigates not only all the carbon we emit but much of the carbon you emit.
How much carbon dioxide is in root beer?
6 percent of root beer is carbon dioxide
