Enter a value for all fields

The CO₂ from Diesel Fuel calculator computes the amount of CO₂ produced from burning an amount of Diesel Fuel.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (V) Volume of Diesel Fuel

Diesel Fuel CO₂:  The calculator returns the amount of CO₂ in pounds.  However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The CO₂ from Diesel Fuel calculator computes the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced from the burning of diesel fuel.  You input the amount of diesel fuel and the equation will tell you how much carbon dioxide is produced.

This equation uses the constant Carbon Dioxide per Gallon Diesel as a constant-in-equation.  This constant can be found on the US Energy Information Administration's website
