How much CO2 does a plane produce in a 1 hour flight?

The amount of CO2 produced by a plane during a one-hour flight varies based on factors such as the type of aircraft, its weight, and flight conditions. On average, a commercial jet emits about 90 to 150 kilograms (approximately 200 to 330 pounds) of CO2 per hour per passenger. This means that for a fully loaded aircraft, total emissions can range from several tons of CO2 per hour. Factors like aircraft efficiency and flight distance also influence the overall emissions.
