APFIVE Wind Turbine CO2 Offset Calculation
A county requires an annual CO2 offset of $$5200$$ tons using wind energy. Given that each megawatt (MW) of wind energy offsets $$2600$$ tons of CO2 per year, and each wind turbine produces $$0.5 \text{ MW}$$, determine how many wind turbines are necessary to achieve the target offset.
Wind Turbine Data:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| CO2 offset per MW | 2600 tons/year |
| Turbine Capacity | 0.5 MW |
| Target CO2 offset | 5200 tons/year |
A
10 turbines
B
4 turbines
C
2 turbines
D
