7. CO2 estimator can indicate approximate
amount of produced CO2 in Macro or Micro
scale.
CO2 estimator is a friendly software
which can indicate the average amount of
CO2 in your home, office, school, factory,
village, city or even your country
15. 1. Fuel;
How to calculate the CO2 emission from the fuel consumption?
For instance:
One liter of diesel weighs 835 grams. Diesel
consist for 86,2% of carbon, or 720 grams
of carbon per liter diesel. In order to
combust this carbon to CO2, 1920 grams of
oxygen is needed. The sum is then 720 +
1920 = 2640 grams of CO2/liter diesel.
This is an old way to calculate carbon
emission for fuel.
16. 2. Renewable energy;
In 21st century scientific could estimate the carbon lifecycle for renewable energy
sources such as wind, biogas, biomass and etc.
Sovacool in 2008 indicates the data with the nuclear carbon dioxide ranges and
finalized the below table:
17. 3. Electricity;
In 2014 Bakhtyar et al. calculated an average CO2 emission of
electricity for 13 selected countries in 5 continents. Further he
extended this way to 10 European countries, too.
18. Average electricity CO2 emission in each country is based on the country
electricity primary sources.
For example:
In Malaysia electricity primary sources:
Natural gas 65%
Coal 29%
Nuclear 0%
Hydro 6%
Crude oil 0%
Renewable 0%
Total 100%
Then produced CO2 based on electricity primary shares will be:
Natural gas (443 g CO2e/kW h) 28.732
Coal (1050 g CO2e/kW h) 30.383
Hydro (10 g CO2e/kW h) 0.060
Total produced CO2for electricity use (megaton) 59.175
Produced CO2 for electricity kg/capita 2518
