How much does one hummer pollute in one day?

i was just wondering how much a small hummer car pollutes in one dayHow much does one hummer pollute in one day?What model Hummer? H1, H2, H3? (To my knowledge, there are no Hummer cars, only trucks/SUVs.)



What fuel is the Hummer using? Gasoline? Diesel? Biodiesel (and if so, from what source)? Hydrogen?



What distance is the Hummer going in that one day? (Remember that it has evaporative emissions, so it is still emitting unburnt hydrocarbons when just sitting off in the driveway for the entire day...) What type of driving is being done? Fuel economy and the distance driven will determine the amount of additional pollution in one day.



Are you including the well-to-wheel efficiency of the fuel source? (Additional emissions from the sourcing and distribution of the fuel used.)How much does one hummer pollute in one day?
None, if you use for a storage locker in your driveway.How much does one hummer pollute in one day?Depends on what it's using as fuel. If it's bio-diesel then the net pollution is none, sure CO2 is coming out the pipe but it's just the same CO2 that went into a plant last year. Likewise if it's burning synthetic diesel or synthetic gasoline made from biomass gasification which could mean the gasification of dried sewage and trash, then the net pollution would be in the negatives, that's right negative because the gasification/pyrolysis process also produces charcoal which would be used as a soil amendment sequestering the carbon for thousands of years if not more.



We should be focusing on how the fuel is made, there's already billions of vehicles out there and replacing them all would result in even more carbon being released just to make the vehicles. More efficient vehicles will eventually be needed as there's only so much biomass to go around (unless you consider soylent green fuel) but we're just shooting ourselves in the foot if we go crazy buying new cars.How much does one hummer pollute in one day?
Nothing.. if you do not drive itHow much does one hummer pollute in one day?Much more than is necessary to get from one place to another. A Hummer's main purpose is to satisfy some perverse quirk of the ego of the owner.How much does one hummer pollute in one day?
The Hummer H3 emits 346 g/km CO2, and the H2 emits 412 g/km.

In comparison, the Prius emits 104 g/km, so the Hummer emits about 3-4 times more pollution.

depends on how much u drive
