Carbon Footprint
10
MNUBS/ACC235/2016-S1/Kendhoo
Examples:
For each (UK-) gallon of petrol fuel consumed, 10.4 kg carbon dioxide (CO2) is
emitted
For each (US-) gallon of gasoline fuel consumed, 8.7 kg carbon dioxide (CO2) is
emitted
If your car consumes 7.5 liter diesel per 100 km, then a drive of 300 km distance
consumes 3 x 7.5 = 22.5 liter diesel, which adds 22.5 x 2.7 kg = 60.75 kg CO2 to
your personal carbon footprint
