If you convert your car to natural gas how much emissions do you reduce?
Lopezjj02
The consumption of different types of fuel produce different rates of emissions, for instance:
Gasoline: 2.3 kg CO2/liter used
Natural gas or LPG: 1.6 kg CO2/liter used
Diesel: 2.7 kg CO2/liter used
So initially it looks like Natural Gas is the winner!
But this is only part of the question as each fuel also exhibits an energy density - how far will it make your car go per liter of fuel. When this is reviewed the gasoline car is the worst of the three choices and diesel the best. This is due to the efficiency of diesel engines and the high energy density of diesel fuel.

Why would it help the environment to reduce the speed on motorways up to 70mph?
it wouldn't do much i guess it will lower carbon emissions
What can Africa do to reduce the impact of drought?
well its not so much to them but to us as we do use a whole lot of emissions into the air so trying to reduce drought. but thats only my view
Is there a natural product that will reduce a Labspaniel's shedding?
Brushing as much as you can is the best way
What filter should you use to reduce carbon monoxide emissions?
carbon monoxide is a rich indicator, if you are producing too much, you have a fuel system problem.
Why is natural gas called clean gas?
Natural gas is called a clean gas because it burns much cleaner than any other fuel. When natural gas is used in vehicles, the exhaust emissions are much less harmful for the environment.
How much does Ethanol reduce emissions?
they have found that e85 does not reduce emissons as much as one would see affectave.. this is so because it takes fuel and emissions to produce the ethanol, so in a way it is almost sending all the emisions that the car would otherwise prevent in to the air... this is just the beginning of new fuel scorces yet to come in the us.. many companies are finding and reserching new tecnologies to make viehicles more fuel efficent...
How much ozone is being created by commercial corona surface treatment equipment?
I have seen production rates from 0.05 to 1.5 pounds per day, per machine. It is not difficult to either capture those emissions and reduce them, or show that at the property line the emissions net to being non-detectable.
How does saving energy reduce carbon dioxide emmisions?
Almost all fuel used to create energy (coal, oil, gas) causes carbon dioxide emissions, therefore not using aka saving energy will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Nature produces most of the carbon dioxide. Man produces about 6% of all CO2 produced. Much of this by items that would otherwise rot and create CO2 naturally.
How do solar panels help us reduce the amount of fossil fuels we use?
Solar panels produce electricity without greenhouse gas emissions and therefore we don't need to use fossil fuels as much?
What is the chance of reducing global warming?
The future is looking grim. Many people think we have left it too late to do much about global warming. Very few countries have made serious attempts to reduce their emissions.
How much has the planet warmed from 1934 until today?
From 1934 until 2010, the last year we have complete data on, the planet has seen less than 0.2 degrees (C) of actual warming despite man's 80 times increase in carbon dioxide emissions. This is partially due to the small amount of overall emissions that man is compared to the rest of the planets natural emissions.
How does recycling reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions?
It takes a lot of energy to make, eg, glass or aluminium out of raw materials. This energy is usually electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This is causing global warming. It takes a lot less energy to make a glass bottle or an aluminium can out of recycledglass or aluminium. So recycling reduces energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
