Burning one liter of diesel emits 1.58x10^6 liters of carbon dioxide. The calculation method is as follows: According to the 16-alkane number, one ton of diesel produces carbon dioxide, 1×192/226×44/12=3.115 tons. Because the density of carbon dioxide is 1.977 g/L, the volume of carbon dioxide is V= 3.115x10^6/1.977=1.58x10^6 liters.
Diesel products
A mixture of complex hydrocarbons (about 10 to 22 carbon atoms). For diesel engine fuel. It is mainly formulated from diesel fractions produced by crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, petroleum coking and other processes.
It can also be produced from shale oil processing and coal liquefaction. It is divided into two categories: light diesel (boiling point range is about 180~370℃) and heavy diesel (boiling point range is about 350~410℃). Widely used in large vehicles, railway locomotives and ships.
