10. T. R. Carr January 5, 2007 Power Plant CO 2 Emissions  A low efficiency (33%) 500 MW coal- burning plant will emit 4.4 billion kWh x 2.1 lb = 4.6 million tons of CO 2 per year  A high efficiency (50%) 500 MW natural gas plant will emit 1.7 million tons of CO 2 per year

11. T. R. Carr January 5, 2007 Ethanol CO 2 Emissions  A ethanol plant releases 6.624 pounds of CO 2 from fermentation per gallon produced. 485 mmg/y x 6.624 pounds 1.6 million tons of CO 2 per year  A ethanol plant releases 4.499 pounds of CO 2 from combustion per gallon produced. 485 mmg/y x 4.499 pounds 1.1 million tons of CO 2 per year
