My uninformed understanding/guess: Flight is low margin and fuel is the primary cost. So you can make an estimate of the CO2 impact; if the average seat price on a normal airliner for that journey is $1000 and the average seat price on this aircraft is $5000 then I think you can say it's approximately 5x the impact.
Happy to be shown wrong, this is complete conjecture.
