Measurements of CO2 and CO in China’s Air Indicate Sharply Improved Combustion Efficiency

Green Car Congress

The measurements provide the most detailed look at carbon emissions for a specific urbanized and industrialized region of China to date. High-efficiency combustion processes, such as modern power plants and cars that meet current standards, produce little or no CO, and are thus both more energy-efficient and cleaner.
