Q2 A household uses 12 kWh of electricity daily. Currently, it is using electricity from the grid which costs $0.25/kWh. For 1 kWh electricity production, 1.2 kg of CO₂ is released to the environment. (a) How much money the household will spend on electricity in 20 years? (b) How much CO₂ is released to the environment due to this usage? The family would like to switch to solar energy. It will cost $12,000 initially. After meeting their own electricity demand, annually, the family will earn $400 by selling the excess electricity to the grid. (c) When they use solar system, how much money the household will spend on energy use in 20 years? (d) By using solar system, how much CO₂ will be saved from releasing to the environment? (e) Give your comments about which option is economically and environmentally better.

A city has a fleet of 10 gasoline cars and 5 gasoline light trucks built in 2009. The annual vehicle miles (VMT) traveled by these vehicles are 8,000 miles. How many kg of CO2e does the fleet produces in a year? Which fleet of vehicles (i.e. light truck or gasoline car) produces more CO2e and by how much? Notes: Fuel efficiency of gasoline car = 23.8 mpg Fuel efficiency of light truck = 17.4 mpg Emission factor of N2O from gasoline car = 0.020 gm/mile Emission factor of CH4 from gasoline car = 0.021 gm/mile Emission factor of N2O from light truck= 0.029 gm/mile Emission factor of CH4 from light truck = 0.025 gm/mile Emission factor of gasoline = 8.78 kg CO2/gallon
