CO emissions

 Using on-line calculators

1 flight from Tarbes to London 226kg

1 person drives 1000km in a diesel car 5l/100km 234kg

In a year we use 2MWh and buy 1MWh.

To buy 1MWh in France, typical emission is 45g/kWh or 45t (45000kg) 

Put another way, I can take 200 flights (45000/226) with electricity that we generate/save

The return journey to the supermarket we use is 26km, which is 6kg of CO. After 38 weeks of just food shopping our carbon emission is the same as a flight to London.

Our ISP reckons we use 3.8kg of CO per month = 45kg/year, which is about 8 shopping trips.

cement accounts for 8% of global emissions. The IET 9/24
