CO2 emissions ≈ 7 GtC/y
Natural carbon cycle ≈ 50 GtC/y
1 GtC/y = 1 billion tons of carbon per year, which may be bound in CO2 or other compounds

CO2 emissions ≈ 7 GtC/y
CO2 removal from atmosphere ≈ 3 GtC/y

Burning fossil fuel means combustion of hydrocarbons:
CXHY + O2 → CO2 + H2O
hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
where the proportions of CO2 and H2O depend on X and Y

Because a measurable quantity of energy is conserved during any conversion of one form to another, it makes sense to give a single name to that quantity.

2nd Law requires: Some of the chemical fuel energy will be degraded into heat. The amount of mechanical work or electricity produced will be less than the fuel input.

Electric usage 232 kWh $0.11/kWh
Gas usage 52 therms $0.71/therm
Conversion factors: 1 therm = 100,000 Btu = 105 Btu
1 kWh = 3,413 Btu
Questions:
• Which is my greater energy consumption – electricity or gas?
• Which is more expensive per unit energy – electricity or gas?
![Page 48: Energy the carbon imperative - short version](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5592580f1a28ab1c248b4631/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Electric usage 232 kWh $0.11/kWh
Gas usage 52 therms $0.71/therm
Conversion factors: 1 therm = 100,000 Btu = 105 Btu
1 kWh = 3,413 Btu
Convert 232 kWh into therms by multiplying
by the conversion factors (3,413 Btu / kWh) and (1 therm / 105 Btu):
232 kWh x (3,413 Btu / kWh) x (1 therm / 105 Btu) = 7.9 therms
→ I use 7.9 therms worth of electricity
![Page 49: Energy the carbon imperative - short version](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5592580f1a28ab1c248b4631/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
$ 0.115 / kWh
PG&E electric rates have stayed about the same over the past five years
![Page 50: Energy the carbon imperative - short version](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5592580f1a28ab1c248b4631/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
$ 1.04 / therm
$ 0.92 / therm
PG&E gas rates have gone up from $0.70 / therm
![Page 51: Energy the carbon imperative - short version](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5592580f1a28ab1c248b4631/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Electric rate $ 0.115 / kWh
Gas rate $ 0.92 – 1.04 / therm
Which is more expensive, gas or electricity?
Conversion factors: 1 therm = 100,000 Btu = 105 Btu
1 kWh = 3,412 Btu
$0.115/kWh x (1 kWh/3,412 Btu) x (105 Btu/therm)
= $3.37/therm
→ electricity is over three times as expensive as natural gas
![Page 52: Energy the carbon imperative - short version](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5592580f1a28ab1c248b4631/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Portfolio of renewable energy resources Problematic issues: • spatial and temporal constraints on energy availability • requires sophisticated, integrated planning
In my opinion, these are the most readily solvable problems.
