How calcuate the CO2 reduction after implemenation of/planning to implement a Fuel conservation projects

How calcuate the CO₂ reduction after implemenation of /planning to implement fuel conservation project.

• Type of Fuel used:  Diesel/Electircity
• Approximate consumption of fuel(Diesel) for running the device/day : 600 litre/day
• Now after implementation of this project the device will run for 14 days instead of running the device for 26 days and the approximate CO₂ reduction will be 1584 kg/day.

The calculations are as follows for Diesel:

·        1 litre of diesel weighs 835 grams.

·        Diesel consist for 86.2% of carbon, or 720 grams of carbon per litre diesel. In order to combust this carbon to CO₂, 1920 grams of oxygen is needed.

·        The sum is then 720 + 1920 = 2640 grams of CO₂/litre diesel.

·        An average consumption of 600 litre/day corresponds to 600 litre/day*2640 grams of CO₂/litre   = 2640*600/1000 = 1584 kg/day

The calculations are as follows for Electricity are as follows:

Assumption : the electricity consumption for the device will be 450 Units/day (if we did = 450/24 units/hr  = 18.75 units/hr)

Amount of CO₂ generation is 973 grams/KWH ( average data taken for generating the power from coal power plant), so approximately we can eliminate the generation of 18.75*973/1000

= 18.24 kg/hr  = 450 kg/day
