Weather it is better to burn gasoline or diesel or coal fired Electric for personal transportation. Really depends upon the regulatory environment in which you are situated. The typical coal fired KWHr is going to have different values of pollutants emitted in China as opposed to the EU or US. The gasoline or diesel engine it is offsetting will also have different emissions levels depending upon where it is intended to operate.
