Carlos travels between Veracruz and Puebla, covering a distance of 940 km on each trip. The trip takes about 7 hours in a car, with a fuel efficiency of 18 km/L of gasoline. Note: Gasoline has an emission factor of 2.2 kg CO2eq/Lgasoline.

a) How many kilograms of CO2eq does a person traveling in a car from Veracruz to Puebla emit? (Unit in kg CO2eq/trip-passenger)

I got that the emissions are 114.88 kgCO2eq but I dont know how to answer the b).

b) It's a business trip, so the company lends Carlos a 100% electric vehicle, having an energy consumption of 0.207 kWh/km. If the emission factor for electricity was 0.50 tCO2eq/MWh or 0.5 kg CO2eq/kWh, what are the emissions associated with the energy consumption by the vehicle? (Unit in kg CO2eq/trip-passenger).
