What is the general carbon emission of a car?
1 Answers
Generally, a car emits about 0.4kg of carbon dioxide per kilometer. Meaning of carbon emissions: Carbon emissions is a general term or abbreviation for greenhouse gas emissions. The main gas among greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide, hence the use of the term 'Carbon' as a representation. Although not entirely accurate, the simplest way for the public to understand it is to equate 'carbon emissions' with 'carbon dioxide emissions'. The primary cause of global warming is the extensive use of fossil fuels (such as coal, petroleum, etc.) by humans over the past century, which has led to the emission of large amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Hazards of high carbon emissions: These greenhouse gases are highly permeable to visible light from solar radiation but highly absorptive of long-wave radiation reflected from the Earth, commonly referred to as the 'greenhouse effect', leading to global warming. The consequences of global warming include the redistribution of global precipitation, melting of glaciers and permafrost, rising sea levels, etc., which not only harm the balance of natural ecosystems but also threaten human food supply and living environments.
