This calculation is approximate, as not all data is available for Mexico. Depending on the source, it may vary slightly, but the figure presented here is almost an average. CO2 emissions in Mexico in 2018 were 495,778 kilotons. If transportation produces 31% of that amount, that gives a total of 153,691.2 kilotons. 95% of this figure comes from private cars: 146,006.6 kilotons. In Mexico in 2018, there were 124,738,000 people, and only about 20% of them, or 24,937,600, owned a car. 146,006.6 kilotons / 24,937,600 = 5.8 tons of CO2 per year. Data from CFE and INEGI) CO2 calculation for an electric car in Mexico: On average, Mexico produces 458 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour (according to CFE 2018). A Tesla consumes 0.2 kilowatt-hours per kilometer traveled, or 91.6 g/km of CO2. This is multiplied by the average number of kilometers traveled per year by a car, which was calculated based on the average distance traveled in the United States, approximately 20,000 kilometers per year. 91.6 g/km of CO2 * 20,000 km per year = 1,832,000 grams of CO2 per year, or 1.8 tons of CO2 per year. #dissemination #science #environment #CuriosaMente217 TO KNOW MORE: On the Road in 2020: A life-cycle analysis of new automobile technologies.
