| 55-90 watts | 19″ television |
Assume large TV is 100 watts. 5 hours is 18000 seconds. Electrical energy is 100 * 18000 joules or 1.80 megajoules. This creates 0.18 Kg CO2.
CO2e: 0.03 Kg (50 mins)
“What I discovered, after the Kill-A-Watt was in place, is that my PC is sucking back 6 watts of power just idling in standby mode. Wow. Thats only mildly less than the low end (8 watts) of what PC Magazine said their Zonbu unit was drawing while in use.
“Put in perspective, it sounds like replacing my desktop PC with a Zonbu for the 80% of the time I’m using my PC for web browsing would allow me to cut my energy usage for that same period to 1/10th of my current load. Moreover, depending on what the standby load is for the Zonbu, I may be able to experience similar savings when in standby (most of the day while I’m at work and all through the evening).”
For CO2 from electricity we have 0.1 Kg per megajoule.
Assume large TV is 100 watts. 16 hours is 57600 seconds.
Electrical energy is 6 * 57600 joules or 0.345 megajoules.
This creates 0.03 Kg CO2.
CO2e: 0.58 Kg (10 hours)
How do I find out how much electricity something uses?
http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/howmuch.html says
140-330 watts, Desktop Computer & 17″ CRT monitor
Low power consumption PC’s:
http://www.yourpcholmfirth.co.uk/acatalog/Low_power_consumption_PC_s.html
“Asus, Build your own AMD Power Saving PC
Typical desktop computer uses about 85 to 250 watts. Yes, some computers
use more. Our power saving system consumes 55 watts on idle. In doing so
you are not sacrificing performance for typical home & small office activities – email,
web browsing & general office applications.”
A rough estimate might be 200 watts.
For CO2 from electricity we have 0.1 Kg per megajoule
Assume large Computer is 200 watts. 8 hours is 28800 seconds.
Electrical energy is 200 * 28800 joules or 5.76 megajoules.
This creates 0.58 Kg CO2.

TV, 49watts (on), 13 watts (standby)
For CO2 from electricity we have 0.1 Kg per megajoule
Assume TV on standby is 13watts. 19 hours is 72000 seconds.
Electrical energy is 13 * 72000 joules or 1.15 megajoules.
This creates 0.12 Kg CO2.

CO2e: 0.09kg (1 hour 40 mins)
Watching a small television for 5 hours.

55-90 watts, 19″ television
For CO2 from electricity we have 0.1 Kg per megajoule
Assume small TV is 50 watts. 5 hours is 18000 seconds.
Electrical energy is 50 * 18000 joules or 0.90 megajoules.
This creates 0.09 Kg CO2.
