Diamond DA62 CO₂ emissions per flight hour
The Diamond DA62 is a seven-seat composite twin with two 180 hp Austro diesel engines. The engines burn jet fuel; the figure is in US gallons of Jet A-1 for both engines at 75% power. At a typical fuel flow of 14.8 US gallons (56 L) of jet fuel per hour, a Diamond DA62 puts about 144 kg of CO₂ into the air for every hour flown.

A year of flying in a Diamond DA62
| Hours flown | CO₂ | Cost to offset |
|---|---|---|
| 25 h | 3.60 t | $113.40 |
| 50 h | 7.20 t | $214.20 |

Costs are for the yearly plan, from $0.035 per kg with lower rates as the amount grows. The monthly plan is $0.036 per kg, and one tonne once is $40.
On the monthly plan, offsetting an hour in a Diamond DA62 costs about $5.18. See plans

CO₂ per flight hour for common piston aircraft, at typical cruise fuel flow.
How we calculate this
Burning one US gallon of jet fuel releases about 9.75 kg of CO₂ (3.15 kg per kg of fuel, at 0.82 kg per liter), so CO₂ per hour is fuel flow multiplied by 9.75. The figure covers combustion only, not producing or transporting the fuel.
Your real fuel flow depends on power setting, mixture, altitude and how much of the hour you spend climbing. If your logs give you an average burn, multiply it by 9.75 for a closer number.
CO₂ per 100 nautical miles is CO₂ per hour divided by the cruise speed of 148 knots, times 100. It describes cruise: a climb burns more fuel for each mile.

GuideHow to cut your aircraft's fuel burn and CO₂Every US gallon of avgas you don't burn is 8.31 kg of CO₂ you don't emit. Leaning, power settings, altitude, ground time and maintenance, plus what unleaded fuel and electric trainers will and won't change.
