These are values that we have. They come the IPCC report estimates (a bit old, but from a really good source)

Fuel in Kg CO2/MMBTU (ton CO2/Mwh)  
Petroleum: 77.20 Kg CO2/ MMBTU (0.26 ton CO2/Mwh)  
Coal 97.60 Kg CO2/ MMBTU (0.33 ton CO2/Mwh)  
Gasoline 72.20 Kg CO2/ MMBTU (0.24 ton CO2/Mwh)  
LPG 65.80 Kg CO2/ MMBTU (0.22 ton CO2/Mwh)  
Natural gas 58.80 Kg CO2/ MMBTU (0.20 ton CO2/Mwh)

@felipefeijoo - Is it fair to expect to convert these in dollar units? Perhaps, how much is the dollar value of emitting 1 ton CO2? For example, by emitting 1 ton of CO2, if the country gets the ability to export 1 million dollar worth energy, will they do the emission? What if they get an ability to export 1 dollar worth energy?
