    Question about carbon emmission

    Just seen an article on BBC about the cargo ship that’s had sails added. It said that the ship saved an average of 3 tonnes of fuel per day which resulted in a saving of 11.2 tonnes of CO2 emmissions per day. I’m not a chemist ! But how can 3 tonnes of fuel = 11.2 tonnes of CO2. I remember...
