The burning of fossil fuels for electricity and heat production is the largest source of CO2 emissions worldwide. Other significant sources include industrial processes, transportation, and deforestation.
A Hummer parked in a garage emits almost zero CO2 over the course of a year. The Hummer H2 gets around 10 to 12 mpg. Assuming the typical owner drives 15,000 miles per year, that is around 1300 gallons of gas. Each gallon of gas burned results in 14 pounds of CO2. Multiplying these last two figures we get 9.5 tons of CO2 emitted per year, per Hummer, on average.
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.
Coal is the fossil fuel that produces the most carbon dioxide when burned. It has a higher carbon content compared to other fossil fuels like oil and natural gas, leading to more CO2 emissions per unit of energy produced.
An acre of trees generally is considered to be the equivalent of .1586546 metric tons of CO2. Generally the formula goes "acres of land = Metric tons of CO2 x 6.303"
A flat panel television does not produce any carbon dioxide during normal operation. The carbon footprint of operating an LCD TV is estimated at 215 kg per year on average.
On average, a person produces around 20 metric tons (44,000 pounds) of CO2 per year through activities such as transportation, energy use, and food production.

A Bugatti Veyron produces around 596 grams of CO2 per kilometer driven.
The average CO2 emissions per car per year is around 4.6 metric tons.
turkey
The average co2 emission per year for a car in the USA. is 11,450 pounds
The United States produces the most energy in the world, producing about 71,500 million BTU (British Thermal Units) per year. However, China is not far behind, with almost 71,000 million BTU per year.

60% of crude oil imported into the US is burned as fuel (cars, trucks, power plants). One barrel of crude oil makes about 317 kg of CO2. The US consumes about 9,286,000 barrels/day (of gasoline, assuming it produces the same CO2 per barrel...). One average person produces about 0.90 kg of CO2 per day. The US alone produces the CO2 of 2.9 trillion people. China has the US beat on the production of CO2 also.
Dnt no exactly, but in 2003 it was 12.4 tonnes per person
The average carbon footprint per household per year in the US is around 48 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This includes emissions from activities such as electricity consumption, transportation, and waste production.
Doesn't the driver ( and any passengers ) in the car emit CO2 as well, so you are not comparing like with like.You must compare CO2 from Car, driver and passengers with CO2 emitted by cyclist to be more accurate.You will need to divide the CO2 for car driver and passenger by number of occupants of car to get CO2 per person per journey
