As a result, it has a carbon footprint more than 30% lower than gasoline manufactured entirely from petroleum. By using low carbon fuels, a really noticeable CO 2 reduction could be achieved for these cars without having to make technical changes. We are excited about the idea of reducing CO 2 emissions through the use of waste.
