According to Energy Information Administration (EIA) research, emissions range from 2,791 lbs per short ton for lignite coal to 5,685 lbs per short ton for anthracite coal. However, the coefficients for the coals that are primarily used in electricity production, bituminous and sub-bituminous are 4,931 and 3,716 respectively. See the EIA related link for more information.

How much greenhouse gases does coal produce?
sulphur dioxide.
How many pounds of CO2 in one ton of coal?
Assuming that coal is essentially pure carbon, each 12 kg of coal will combust to form 44 kg of carbon dioxide (C+O2 -->CO2) a bit more than 3 times as much carbon dioxide as coal. A ton of carbon will burn to form about 3 tones of carbon dioxide.
How much carbon dioxide is produced from 1 MWh of electricity that is generated by coal?
1 tonne of coal produce 1.83 tonnes of carbon dioxide when burned 1 tonne of coal generates 2.4 MWhours 0.416 tonne of coal generates 1 MWh 0.416 tonne of coal times 1.83 tonnes of CO2/tonne of coal = 0.7625 tonnes of CO2 are produced from 1 MWh of electricity generated by coal
How much carbon dioxide will be produced when one kilo of pure carbon burned?
C + O2 -------> CO2 12g of carbon produces 44g of carbon dioxide 1kg of carbon will produce 3-67kg of carbon dioxide
How much carbon dioxide is emitted by burning one pound of coal?
Burning one pound of carbon releases about 3.6 pounds of carbon dioxide (the extra weight comes from oxygen from the air).
How much carbon does coal fired electricity plants produce?
65% about Cheers M
How much CO2 does a train produce?
On average 258.63g of Carbon Dioxide a day
Do cars or houses produce more carbon dioxide?
Cars produce much more than houses.
How much carbon dioxide is released when burning a kilo of coal?
Burning one kilo of carbon releases about 3.6 kilos of carbon dioxide. Carbon has an atomic weight of 12. Oxygen has an atomic weight of 16. The oxidation of carbon results in carbon dioxide, atomic weight 44. So 44/12 is 3.667. There are other things in coal besides pure carbon, slight impurities, so in general 1 kg of coal releases about 3.6 kg of CO2.
How much carbon dioxide does a 1996 jeep produce?
Any automobile produces about 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide per liter of fuel consumed.
How much carbon dioxide does 1 liter of petrol produce?
Typically 2.31 kg.
What processes are adding too much carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
