Fact 11 StatementAverage CO2 emission per capita in the UnitedStates are about 20.18t per year. (Source: USDepartment of Energy, Energy Information

Administration)

CO2 emissions in air travel vary by the lengthof the flight. Short flight are about 0.24kg CO2

per passenger mile. Long flight are about0.18kg CO2 per passenger mile. A flight ofabout 1000 miles would therefore generatebetween 180kg and 240kg of CO2 perpassenger, in each direction. It is 1000 miles,for example, between New York and Miami, or

Point 1: What are

"Carbon Dioxide

Emissions"?According to the EPA, Carbon DioxideEmissions, or "Carbon Emissions" or

simply "CO2," are generated in anumber of ways. Carbon DioxideEmissions are produced naturallythrough the carbon cycle and throughhuman activities like the burning offossil fuels.

Point 2: Reasons on WHY average CO2emissions per capita in the US are

about 20.18t per year?Increase in generation of electricpower

growth in demand for electricity

Electricity consumption grew by

1.7 percent, while the averagenational price of electricitydecreased 2.1 percent, from 6.74

Point 3: HOW to reduce

the CO2 emissions in US?greater use of nuclear, hydroelectric, andrenewable energy for electricity generation

v nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewableenergy sources do not contribute toanthropogenic CO2 emissions

using combined heat and power (CHP)systems which waste heat is captured toproduce additional kilowatthours ofelectricity or displace energy used for

heating or cooling
