Question

HELP- According to Figure 3, which fuel source, coal or bioenergy, produces greater carbon emissions for the
production of 5 MW electricity for one year? Approximately what percent of the carbon emissions from
bioenergy electricity production will be offset by avoided coal emissions? How many Mg of carbon is this per
year? Please answer in about two complete sentences. You can assume that electricity generation from biomass
will replace electricity generation from coal.

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

1. biomass produces more emissions (20000 vs 10000 mg)

2. about 50% which is 10000 mg

Answer 2

Answer:

Biomass produces greater carbon emissions

Explanation:

Reading the graph, it's at 2000 Mg, while coal is at 1000 Mg (still a lot though)
