Carbon dioxide emissions vary depending on the fuel. Natural gas (the cleanest fuel) produces about 117 lb CO2/106BTU. Coal, on the oter hand, produces about 225 lb CO2/106BTU. Liquid fuels (gasoline, diesel and furnace fuel) are in the middle of the range.

How many joules are in one barrel of oil?
The equivalent of about 6,330,000,000 joules or 6 million BTUs
What is the temperature rise of 250 cfm of air if an electric heater adds 8500 btus to the air?
31.48 deg F
Why is it difficult to stop using fossil fuel?
Fossil fuels have stored BTUs that are complex and expensive to duplicate through man made conversions.
How many btus are required to change one pound of ice at 20 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 220 degrees Fahrenheit?
1)This is a 5 part question. The first is realizing that 20F to 32F uses .5BTU per pound per degree. That means it takes 32-20=12*.5=6BTUs to get the ice to 32F. 2)Then you need to know the Latent Heat of Fusion for Ice which is 144BTUs (given). Lets assumes the ice changes from ice to water instantaneously at 32F. 3)Next we calculate the BTUs from 32F to 212F. Which is 1BTU per pound per degree F. 212-32=180 so it take 180BTUS. 4)Next we have to use the Latent Heat of Vaporization of water which will say instantaneously converts water to vapor. This takes 970BTUS (given). 5)Then we calculate the BTUS from 212F to 220F. Which is .5BTUs per pound per degree F which is 220-212=8*.5=4BTUs...... Finally add up all the BTUs and you get 6+144+180+970+4=1304BTUs.
How many BTUs are there in a gallon of Kerosene?
1 gallon for #1 Kerosene produces 135,000 BTUs. #1 Kerosene is closely related to #1 Diesel and JP8 (Jet Fuel) - they differ chiefly in additives. Likewise, #2 Kerosene, Diesel #2, and Furnace Oil are similar to one another. #2 oils have higher sulfur content, which leads to more eye and lung irritation from the emissions. However, they are also comprised of longer hydrocarbon chains, and therefore weigh more per gallon and also have somewhat higher energy content.
What is subbituminous coal?
Subbituminous coal has a 75 to 85 percent carbon content. It produces 16 to 24 million BTUs per ton and is used primarily to generate electricity.
How many btu s eqeal 5000kw?
17 million btus in 5 million watts
How many btu in one ton?
The number of BTUs per cord of wood depends on the type of wood. One cord of cottonwood is equal to 16.1 million BTUs. One cord of hard maple is equal to 23.7 million BTUs, and one cord of red oak wood is equal to 24.4 million BTUs.
How many joules are in one barrel of oil?
The equivalent of about 6,330,000,000 joules or 6 million BTUs
How many BTUs for a 200 sq ft room?
Around a million. plus or minus a few.
How many BTUs does low volatile bituminous coal produce?
Low- and medium-volatility grade bituminous coal typically generates between 26 and 30 million BTUs per ton.
How many Kilowatt Hours are in 1 million BTUs?
1 kWH = 3.6 megajoules of energy and 1 BTU = approximately 1055 joules.1 kWH = 3412.3 BTUSo a million BTUs would be 3.4123 billion BTUs (3.4 x 109 BTU)However, this is not an exact conversion because kWH is energy exerted over time, while BTU is energy content.(see the related question)
How many BTU in one cubic meter of CO gas?
There is no specific number of BTUs in one cubic meter of carbon monoxide (CO) gas. The amount of BTUs in a gas is determined by its composition and heating value, which can vary. However, carbon monoxide generally has a lower heating value compared to other gases like methane or propane.
What air conditioner has the most BTU's?
With 28,000 BTUs, the Friedrich SL28L30* has the most BTUs.
What is the output of high volatile bituminous coal?
High-volatile coal, in contrast, usually produces anywhere from 18 to 29 million BTUs per ton.
How many square feet does 4800 btus heat?
4800 BTUs will 150 square feet.
How can I determine how many BTUs I need for an air conditioner?
A small room is about 5,000 BTUs. Most people don't have a room that would require more than 10,000 BTUs.
