What percent of current US CO2 production is 730M tons?
3 comments

US CO2 consumption is ~64M tons / year, so 730M tons >> current US production. Next step for managing CO2 production is geologic sequestration to ensure we have something to do with all the CO2 we capture!
64M tons was their answer in another comment.
~5 billion metric tons is what we emit.
