Power Plant COPower Plant CO22 Emissions Emissions
A low efficiency (33%) 500 MW coal-burning plant will emit
4.4 billion kWh x 2.1 lb =
4.6 million tons of CO2 per year
A high efficiency (50%) 500 MW natural gas plant will emit
1.7 million tons of CO2 per year

Ethanol COEthanol CO22 Emissions EmissionsA ethanol plant releases 6.624 pounds of
CO2 from fermentation per gallon produced.485 mmg/y x 6.624 pounds
1.6 million tons of CO2 per year
A ethanol plant releases 4.499 pounds of CO2 from combustion per gallon produced.485 mmg/y x 4.499 pounds
1.1 million tons of CO2 per year
