Suppose a household used 1.65 ¥ 104 kWih of electricity in one year. Thiselectricity came from a traditional coal-fired generating station. Based on the“Comparing Coal-Combustion Technologies” table on page 392 of the textbook,what mass of carbon dioxide gas was emitted to produce the household’s electricity?A. 1.7 ¥ 104 kgB. 1.3 ¥ 104 kgC. 8.2 ¥ 103 kgD. 2.3 ¥ 102 kg

When any fossil fuel is burned it produces emissions of carbon dioxide and water vapor. A typical household in a developed country will use approximately 70 kWh per month of electricity for computing and electronics. Each kWh of average coal burned produces 2.23 kg of carbon dioxide emissions while natural gas produces just 0.91 kg per kWh of carbon dioxide.How many more kg of carbon dioxide are produced by the coal plant compared to the natural gas plant from the computing and electronics alone, from a household over the course of one year?

Consider a simplified representation of the production of power from coal fired power stations:• Bituminous coal (most common for power in Queensland) is burned in a furnace where most of theenergy liberated by the combustion reaction is transferred to a power cycle.• Heat transferred to a power cycle is converted to shaft work via a power cycle.• Shaft work is converted to electrical work for the grid via a generator and transformer.• Electrical work is transported through the grid to a home.Based on this simple representation, we are going to determine the carbon footprint of 1 MWh ofelectricity delivered to a household. To do this, we will assume:Step EfficiencyHeat from combustion to shaft work 38% (based on HHV)Conversion of shaft work to electrical work in the grid 95%Delivery of electrical work from the power plant to a household 90%a) Draw a simple block diagram of the energy flows and transformations for power generation. Start withthe heat from the coal combustion and finish with the household. You only need shaft work, electricalwork, and heat as the energy transfers in your diagram.Quantify each energy transfer on your diagram to deliver 1 MWh to a household and put this on yourdiagram.b) What are typical ranges for the calorific value (HHV) for bituminous coal (in MJ/kg) and the carbonintensity of bituminous coal in terms of:• kg CO2e per kg of coal, and• kg CO2e per MWh (HHV)Please use high quality references for this information and reference clearly at the end of the question(not at the end of all the questions). Identify a “typical” number for kgCO2e per MWh (HHV) to usein the next question.c) What is the carbon intensity (in kgCO2e/MWh) for electricity delivered to a household? Use mid-point estimates from above, and assuming that the embedded emissions for coal (i.e. pit to gate) are20 kg CO2e per MWh (HHV) and other smaller embedded, direct and indirect emissions are about10 kg CO2e per MWh (HHV).

14. How much of the energy in burning coal reaches the consumer as electricity?

If a person uses 50 units of electricity in a month, then how much CO2 will be emitted by using electricity? about 50 kg of CO2 about 100 kg of CO2 about 150 kg of CO2 about 200 kg of CO2

If a person uses 1 unit of electricity, 1 kg of LPG gas, and 1 litre of petrol in a day then how much CO2 will be emitted in a day? about 3 kg of CO2 about 5 kg of CO2 about 7 kg of CO2 about 9 kg of CO
