What is 29 grams of CO2 comparable to? How far would you have to drive your average car to emit that much?



About a 150 metres depending on the model [1].

Current standards emission around here are pushing for under 95gCO2/km, which seems to eliminate pure ICE. My 2008 sports car is rated as emitting 200gCO2/km (WFH so not a daily driver mind you).

The average car around here should be in the ballpark of 150gCO2/km, so 29g would be 200m.
