The People object can generate CO2 on its own, see the I/O ref for the input field called Carbon Dioxide Generation Rate. It has a default from Standard 62.1-2007 that depends on People activity level.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Floor area based CO2 emission rate
Hi all,
I wonder if there is a way to define the CO2 emission rate based on the
floor area. I checked the example files for the
ZoneContaminantSourceAndSink, they are all defined as m3/s for each zone
rather than m3/s per floor area. Since each zone is occupied with
different numbers of people, does this mean I need to calculate the CO2
emission rate for each zone?
Another question is that what should be a common value for the CO2
emission rate of each person? I tried to looked at ASHRAE 60.1, but it
does not provide this number.
Thanks in advance,
HJ
