I need to check that number... according to https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/co2-emission-fuels-d_1085.html https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/co2-emission-fuels-d_1085..., there is 9.20 kg CO2 released per gallon gasoline. So a dollar per gallon would be $100 per 920 kgCO2, close enough to a metric ton. OK :-)
- Retric 8y agoCurrently, up to around 50% as much CO2 is produced making and transporting a gallon of gasoline as from burning a gallon of gasoline. Some of that would be mitigated, but it’s probably closer to 1.30$ vs 1$ a gallon.
