CO2 Emissions Project !
BACKGROUND INFO -
I have filled in the categories with my data and estimated usage per item, you will then take my data to research and complete each chart with the correct usage and CO2 emission for the rest of the year - with the given wattage for each category
GOAL - IS TO FIND THE GASOLINE CONSUMPTION AND ANSWER EACH CATEGORY WITHIN ITS CHART.
IN THE SECOND CHART YOU MUST DECREASE THE USAGE OF EACH APPLIANCE TO SAVE 600 POUNDS IN CO2 EMISSIONS
You will need to find the Wattage per each item per hours that I've written on the sheet.
Time Usage from Appliances =
Tesla Model S- gets a daily usage of 2 hours which is equivalent to 440 Wattts
(find the wattage equivalent for the rest of each item) -
Fan - gets a daily usage of 8 hours
Airfryer - has a weekly estimate of 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Plasma T.V - daily usage of 2 hours
Google Home - 1 hour weekly estimate
Stand by Time usage =
Plasma T.v. - 24 hours
Keurig - 22 hours
Goggle home - 24 hours
Appliances -
Tesla Model S
(Wall plug in) Fan
Airfryer
Plasma T.V. Samsung
Google Home Nest Mini
Keurig (K-Classic K50 Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker)
CO2 Emissions Project Use your current estimated times/usages to develop a strategy for reducing CO2 emissions by at least 600 lbs. a year. You must alter at least three of your appliances in achieving this and show all work on the following pages. You must also have at least two items listed in both normal and stand-by usages (for example a "computer").

Energy Vampires One more thing: when you turn off an appliance, it may continue to consume electricity. A large number of electrical products - from air conditioners to clocks - cannot be switched completely off without unplugging the device or turning it off at a power strip. These products draw power 24 hours a day, often without the knowledge of the consumer. We call this power consumption "stand-by power," but we call these products "energy vampires." According to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2014), in particularly inefficient designs, the stand-by power use can be as high as 15 or 30 watts. For a single appliance, this may not seem like much, but, when we add up the power use of the billions of appliances in the United States, the power consumption of appliances that are not being used is substantial.

COz Emissions Name: KEY *Background Info FYI - One gallon of gasoline weighs about 6.2 pounds If gasoline is about 87% carbon and 13% hydrogen, how many pounds of carbon are released into the air for every gallon of gasoline burned? 87% of 6.2 = 5.394 lbs of Carbon So, with the 5.394 pounds of Carbon now in gaseous form, it combines with the Oxygen molecules already in the air to create CO. ("Carbon Dioxide"). The result... One gallon of gasoline produces 19.8 lbs of CO. Ex. 1) If you use 15 gallons of gas a week to get to work, how much CO, is emitted in your commute? 15 gal. 19.8 lbs. of CO2 = (297 lbs. of CO2 1 gal Ex. 2) How much CO, is emitted by burning 40 liters of gasoline? 401 1.06 qt 1gal 19.8 lbs. of CO2 839.52 -Ibs. of CO2 = ( 209.88 lbs. of COz 1 2 4 qt 1 gal Ex. 3) If a car gets 26 mpg on average, how much CO, is emitted when traveling 100 miles? 76.23 lbs. of CO2 26 mpg 100 ml = 3.84615... gallons of gas 3.us gal . 19.8 Ibsof CO2 1 gal *Background Info Using electricity actually creates CO. as well! If you think about it, where does electricity come from? Huge power plants are burning fossil fuels (carbon based fuels) to turn HUGE turbines that generate the electricity and send it to wherever they need to. The more people use electricity, the more these turbines need to work. All that being said. The national average emissions factor for electricity is... 1.37 pounds of CO, per kWh (Kilowatt hour)Ex. 4) How much CO, is emitted in leaving a 60 watt bulb on for two hours? 120 W 1 kw 1.37 Ibs. of CO2 164.4 1000 W 1 kW 1000 lbs. of CO2 = (0. 1644 lbs. of CO2 Ex. 5) The wattage of an electric oven is approximately 3000 Watts, while a crock-pot is approximately 250 W. It would take 12 hours to cook a chicken in a crock-pot versus 2 hours in an oven. Which device would create less CO.? CROCKPOT OVEN ROASTED 250 watts x 12 hours Crock-pot 3000 W. 1 kw 1.37 lbs. of CO2 4110 1000 W 1000 4.11 lbs. of CO2 1 RW Ibs. of CO2 = 3000 watts x 2 hours Oven 6000 W. 1 KW 1.37 Ibs. of CO2 8220 1000 W 1 RW 1000 Ibs. of CO2 = 8.22 1ba. 6/ CO2 Ex. 6) Which produces more COn.? a "Video Game Player" 2 hours a day for a week OR a "Computer" 3 hours a day for a week 195 watts x 2 hours a day x 7days 120 watts x 3 hours a day x 7days 2730 W - 1KW -1.37 They 601 1080 W = = 3.7401 lbs. of CO2 2520 W 1KW 137 1bsaf Coz 1090 WF 1 EW 2 = 3.4524 lbs. of CO, 1 KWI want to sort "Energy Vampire" - a device that continues to use your ererry energy and drain power, even when it is turned off. Ex. 7) How much CO, does a cable box cause to be emitted in a year if it is on stand-by mode half the time? 20 watts x 12 hours a day x 365 days ON 87,600 1 kik 137 Ibsof CO2 = 1000 WS 120. 012 lbs. of CO2 1 KW 17.83 watts x 12 hours a day x 365 days 227. 003 Ibs. of CO2 On + Stand by Stand by 78,0954 H 1 kik 1.37 lbs.of COz 1000 = 106. 991 lbs. of CO2 Ex. 8) If Americans watch about 34 hours of TV each week, and they do not unplug their television when not in use, how much CO, emission is caused from both the usage and the "vampire energy" in 3 months?
