A 3500hp diesel engine will burn around 197gal (745L) of fuel per hour.
One gallon of diesel when burned makes around 10.336kg of co2. So each turbine is preventing around 2 tons per hour of co2 emissions. Could be as much as 5 tons if it is replacing coal.
Apologies for use of freedom units; habits are hard to break.
