4. Petacalco is a coal-fired power plant in La Union, Guerrero. In 2002, it had an installed capacity of 2100 MW, and produced 13,870.47 GWh. To produce this amount of energy, the plant used 957.53 m3 of fuel oil, 3631.24 kt of bituminous coal, and 6650 m3 of diesel. Diesel and fuel oil were burned in boilers having a normal configuration; while coal was burned in a wett-bottom furnace. Estimate the total amount of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere during...
