The amount of CO2 emitted per 1 MW of energy generated depends on the source of the energy. On average, coal power plants emit about 1 ton of CO2 per 1 MWh, while natural gas power plants emit about 0.5 tons of CO2 per 1 MWh. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar do not emit any CO2 during electricity generation.
