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 bus put out in one day?

The amount of carbon dioxide emitted by a single bus in one day can vary depending on factors such as the distance traveled, fuel type, and fuel efficiency. However, on average, a bus can emit around 100-200 pounds of carbon dioxide per day.


Why airplane is better than bus?

In terms of pollution, a bus is far better than an aeroplane - aeroplanes emit the most amount of carbon dioxide per gallon of any vehicle. However, an aeroplane is far quicker than a bus, which is obviously a plus!


How much carbon dioxide does a bus produce for each gallon of gas?

I can do this in metrics. One litre of gasoline (about 1/5 gallon) produces about 2.3 kilograms of carbon dioxide. Buses are usually more efficient in terms of carbon dioxide emissions per passenger than cars carrying just one or two passengers.


Can using the bus system prevent global warming?

If more of us use buses, yes it can help. Buses usually produce much less carbon dioxide per passenger-mile than do private cars.


Magnesium carbonate when heated?

When magnesium carbonate is heated, it decomposes into magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction is a thermal decomposition reaction that occurs at high temperatures. The magnesium oxide produced is a white solid, while the carbon dioxide gas is released into the air.


Is carbon dioxide made?

CO2 (carbon dioxide) is made whenever a carbon based item or lifeform burns (is oxygenated). It is also made whenever a hydrocarbon is degraded into water and carbon dioxide. CO2 generation is a natural process. Some examples include: Converting sugar to energy, in almost all living matter. (Reverse of photosynthesis) Burning fuels. (Car, bus, train and other exhausts such as factory pollution). Adding vinegar to baking soda.

What gives out greenhouse gases?

The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide. Stuff you do everyday ride the bus drive a car turn on the lights all sorts of important stuff requires outputing greenhouse gases cars and buses give out the gas CO2 (carbon dioxide) power plants that make the energy for the computer your on now outputs CO2 as the most common greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide there is a plan called the Kyoto Protocal that helps by slowing down the output of six major greenhouse gases.

How much carbon dioxide is produced by bus each year?

Some buses are electric, and the CO2 emitted by their operation would come from coal fired power plants. West coast electric buses would receive hydrologic power, emitting very little CO2. Most buses are diesel powered, and average about 6 mpg. Since automobiles get about 20 mpg, a bus needs to carry 4 passengers to break even. More than that and the bus gains in efficiency over the typical passenger automobile. One gallon of fuel emits close to 20 pounds of CO2, even though the fuel itself weighs only 6.25 pounds. This is because the carbon in the fuel combines with oxygen in the air--a LOT of it. So 20 pounds per gallon times a gallon every six miles equals 3.3 lbs per mile. The US Federal Transit Authority estimates each bus averages 37,000 miles per year. So that amounts to 123,000 lbs (62 tons) of CO2 per bus per year. For the next part of the question we need to know how many buses there are. There are 450 to 480 thousand school buses in the US (close to half a million). The US probably has fewer buses per capita than most nations on earth, which rely more heavily on public transportation.
