To answer this question properly, we would need to know the efficiency of the plant used to burn the heavy fuel oil.
Carbon Dioxide emissions are normally expressed as Carbon Intensity, in tonnes per Megawatt Hour (t/MWh).
In general, gas fired plants have much lower Carbon Intensity than coal fired and oil fired plants.

What type of fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Diesel fuel, regular gas, and fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Is Carbon Dioxide used as rocket fuel?
No. It is never used as a fuel.
What do you capitalitalize in when a car is driven the gasoline it burns as fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
when a car is driven, the gasoline it burns as fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Write the word equation for the combustion of a fossil fuel?
Fuel+oxygen --> carbon dioxide+water
Using which type of fuel released carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Biomass
World's carbon dioxide emission from the use of the fossil fuel 2002?
The worlds carbon dioxide emissions from the use of fossil fuels has decreased since 2002. The United States has had the largest decrease in carbon dioxide emissions.
Do cars emit carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide?
The principle carbon emission from cars is carbon dioxide. There is some carbon monoxide in the direct engine exhaust if the engine does not have the right air/fuel mixture. This is usually removed by proper operation (since 1975) of the catalytic converter.
Is carbon dioxide a fuel?
Carbon dioxide cannot be used as an ordinary fuel as it is a product of the combustion of carbon.
What happened when fossils fuels are burned?
When fossil fuels are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the environment. This can influence the greenhouse effect and increase global warming. Coal is the fossil fuel that produces the most carbon dioxide emission.
When fossil fuels burned what happened?
When fossil fuels are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the environment. This can influence the greenhouse effect and increase global warming. Coal is the fossil fuel that produces the most carbon dioxide emission.
How is electricity related to carbon emission?
Electricity is related to carbon emission because electric power plants consume coal in form of fuel, and increase in electric consumption increases the consumption of coal in electric power plants. High the amount of coal consumed higher the amount of carbon evolved as carbon mono oxide and carbon dioxide.
What two ingredients are necessary for combustion?
Carbon and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide, CO2, during the combustion of fuel.
Why is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change so concerned about the emission of carbon dioxide?
The emission of carbon dioxide from human activities (largely the burning of fossil fuels) has been identified as one of the main contributors to global warming. (The other is deforestation.) Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, released from burning fossil fuel is old carbon from millions of years ago. So it is not part of the carbon cycle. Rather it is adding to and overloading the carbon cycle, which cannot remove it. This extra gas is causing global warming.
Which gas reacts with the fuel vapour to make carbon dioxide?
C 02- carbon dioxide
Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
What are causes of carbon emission?
The causes of carbon emissions are humans. We humans use fuel by DRIVING TOO MANY FUEL CARS AND TRUCKS!
What type of fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Diesel fuel, regular gas, and fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
