This is a benefit that is difficult to fullycapture, but certain things like greenhouse gas emissions can be measured.Greenhouse gases (GHGS) trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and are believed to contribute to global climate change. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is themain GHG produced by human activity, and the two major human activities responsible for CO2 emission are electric power generation andcombustion of fossil fuels for transportation. You can read a little more about CO2 emission on the EPA website.According to the EPA, there are 8.887 kg of CO2 released with the combustion of each gallon of gasoline. This is the amount of CO2 coming out thetailpipe of a gas powered vehicle.This means that we can estimate the total CO2 emitted over the three-year lease of a vehicle. Assuming the vehicle consumes 1 gallon of gas forevery 34 miles and that the lease allowance milage is 12,000 miles per year, we can compute the number of gallons of gasoline needed to drive anestimated 36,000 miles and multiplying by 8.887kg/gal as follows:36,000mi/(34 mi/gal) x 8.887 kg/gal = 1,058.82 gal x 8.887kg/gal = 9,409.76kg.To drive 36,000 miles, the vehicle uses 1,058.82 gallons of gasoline and produces 9,409.76 kg of CO2.You can do this same calculation for any gas-powered car by plugging in the number of miles driven (M) and the fuel efficiency of the vehicle inmiles per gallon (N).Mmileskg CO2Total kg of CO, emitted =× 8.887(Equation 1)milesN-gallongallonTo figure out how much CO2 is emitted in generating the electricity to charge the battery of an electricity-powered car over a three-year lease, let'sbegin by estimating the total energy for battery charging needed to drive 36,000 miles. Assuming that it takes 60kWh to fully charge the car and thatthe car can drive for 238 miles per charge we estimate the total energy needed for battery charging needed to drive 36,000 miles is:36,000 mi/(238 mi/charge) x 60 kWh/charge = 9,075.6 kWh. According to the EPA's Power Profiler website, 998.4 pounds of CO2 are emitted per mWh on average across the United States.Converting units, there are about .45kg per pound, resulting in the following total CO2 emission in kg to power the car:9,075.6 kWh * [ 998.4 Ibs CO2/ MWh * 1MWH/1000Kwh * 0.45kg/lb ] = 4077.5 kg/CO2Given all of this, we now have the capability to estimate the CO2 emission resulting from driving an electric vehicle. It boils down to plugging in thenumber of miles driven (M), battery storage capacity (E), and the driving range on a charge (R) into the following equation.998.4 lbs CO2.45kgE KWhchargeMmiles1MWH= kg of CO2 (Equation 2)miłesRchargeMWh1000KWHlbThis equation looks hairy, but we can deconstruct it by noticing that the quantity in brackets on the left is electricity consumption, and the quantity inbrackets on the right is essentially just unit conversions to get us from kWh of electricity to kg of CO2.Given Equation 2 and Equation 1 from the previous section, we can figure out the C02 emissions from any gas-powered car and any electric car, andthat's what we will do now.

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) warm the Earth by absorbing energy and slowing the rate at which the energy…
