It is per person, going by plane takes roughly as much as going by car if it is over land. Stockholm to Barcelona is according to Google 2788 km. Typical car takes 1.2 litre per 10km, so the whole trip would be around 300 litres of petrol. 1 litre of petrol is around 2.4 kg CO2, so over 700 kg CO2 for the entire trip.
- dmitriid 7y ago> Typical car takes 1.2 litre per 10km A typical car takes 4-5 people. A typical plane takes 200-400 people. So 700 kg for the entire trip wouldn't be per person.
