Ford Motor Company has met its goal to reduce manufacturing CO 2 emissions eight years ahead of schedule. The goal, set in 2010, aimed to reduce the company’s global carbon dioxide emissions from manufacturing operations by 30% per vehicle produced by 2025. Ford also remains focused on reducing vehicle emissions.

Thirty percent of the energy in the US comes from natural gas. The copper and iron hold onto molecules by their carbon and oxygen atoms, buying time for hydrogen to make the leap from the water molecule fragments onto the carbon atom. It can use the sun’s energy or an electrical current to break down the carbon dioxide and water.
