I highly doubt that. A fuel-powered generator works by combustion, by making air oxygen and carbon in the fuel react to produce CO₂, harvesting the (heat) energy released by that exothermic reaction.
That’s why it produces the toxic CO₂ as well as using up oxygen, both of which is very dangerous in enclosed areas.
That’s a basic operating principle unrelated to efficiency, as the CO₂ is not a byproduct.
I just googled that a generator produces 0.09g of Co2 in an hour, you can breathe that exhaust in a closed room and youd be fine, if you have Euro6 diesel car go look how much co2 it produces, you vant suforcate in a garage anymore. Plus i dont use doubt, I work with these thing, I have tools to measure exhaust of these things, I know what ism talking about, sure you can get drousy if you let it run all day, but in a situation when you need electricity for a meal or radio for a couple of hours it wount do any damage for you. I now measured my exhaust of 2l diesel Bmw enigne, it produces 0.01g an hour, i can take a hose and breathe that shit all day.
I don’t know where you’re getting these numbers from. What kind of generator are you talking about? Emissions change with power and fuel use.
The average US home uses 30kWh of electricity per day, with a 0.4l/kWh fuel consumption that would give us 12l of diesel consumption per day. Diesel has about 2.65kg/l of CO2 emissions, which for 12l would give us 31.8kg or 31,800g of CO2 per day.
The average US apartment is 82.4m2 big, with 2.5m of wall height this would give us a volume of 206m3 of air volume (disregarding furniture etc., realistically less). Air has a density of 1.3kg/m3, meaning we would have 267.8kg or 267,800g of air in this space.
The instantly harmful CO2 concentration is around 10%. This means in 267,800g+10% = 270,478g of air 10%, or 2,705g, of CO2 would need to be introduced. With 31,800g of CO2 generation per day, we would have an instantly harmful concentration of CO2 in about 2,705/31,800 = 0.08, 0.08*24h = 2.04h. You would be dead pretty quickly.
In the next panel they die of asphyxiation from using a fuel-powered generator indoors.
Modern generators are so eficient, they almost dont produce any exhaust and you can use them inside
