Question:

How much CO2 is emitted when you produce 1 metric ton of iron or steel? Both for new (iron ore) and recycled?

I need to find out how much co2 is produced when you produce 1 metric ton of iron or steel from iron oreand how much co2 is produced when you produce 1 metric ton of iron or steel from recycled iron or steel

Answer:

I've used off brand filters before, and They worked just fine for me. sounds like a good deal. You may not get much of a increase tho. I never got a huge increase with kn or an off brand, it just has a growl when you accelerate. don't spend too much.
How much CO2 is produced will depend on the power source, which I can't speak for. The majority (I believe 98%) of all steel is recycled, so very little is being made from new ore.
Fe2O3(l) + 3CO(g) -- 3CO2(g) + 2Fe(l) Fe2O3 MW 159.69 g/mole 1 * 10^6 g metric ton 1 metric ton 6382 moles of iron ore produces 3 moles CO2 per Fe2O3 19146 moles CO2 44g/mole 19146 moles CO2 842424 g 0.84 metric tons
Personally I bought a Spectra from Pepboys for my Mazda and with the tubing and everything it cost me about 80 bucks, what your looking at looks alright to me though
