Is there an mistake:
How can 23,844 kg of jet fuel become 85 tons of CO2 emissions? 23,85toms to 85tons?
Anyway a mega pollution just to watch 20 men running after a ball and don‘t want it.
Show threadFuck Elon Dec 18, 2022

@StefanRower @elonjet

In complete combustion, each carbon atom combines with two oxygen atoms from the air to make CO2. So the weight of the Oxygen needs to be added.

@elonjet just curious: what is the basis for calculating co2 emissions? cause how can turn 24k jet fuel turn into 85k co2? i mean there will be some tire wear, maintenance, aircraft hangar stuff happening - but more than 3x than only jet fuel? please clarify. 🙏
Show threadhallvorsDec 19, 2022
@medienvirus @elonjet So I do not know the exact calculations, but you can tell from the very formula C O 2 that in this gas every molecule is one atom of carbon picking up and attaching to two atoms of oxygen from the air. Tripled mass thus sounds roughly correct.

@elonjet how is the c0² calculated?
Not having a go just interested how 35mt of fuel becomes 85mt of co²
Show threadDunkDec 19, 2022
@elonjet
Just did some Googling and holy fuck!
Fuel density is 0.8 so 35lt becomes 25-26mt of fuel and the emissions factor ranges from 3.1 - 3.5 depending on fuel grade. So 85mt of co² is about bob on. 💩
Show threadMike CDec 19, 2022
@Dunk @elonjet In summary, the answer is chemistry.
Jet fuel is a hydrocarbon with between 5 and 16 carbon atoms (C) per molecule. When this is burnt, each atom combines with 2 oxygen atoms (O) from the air to produce CO2.
IRL the calculation is not this simple because of side products and incomplete combustion, but e.g:
C5H12 + 8O2 -> 5CO2 +6H2O
For every one mole of C5H12 (approx 74g), 5 moles of CO2 are emitted (approx 220g) because of stoichiometry.
