Best Answer

Virtually none of the total CO2 would be from Hybrids. Less then 3% comes from all cars together and hybrids make up a very small portion of cars on the road. Probably under 0.1% would be a safe number.

How Carbon has d orbital?

Electron Orbitals can form a hybrid in order to achieve a more stable element: sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, sp3d2


How can you reduce carbon footprints in transport?

You can reduce carbon footprints in transport by choosing more fuel-efficient vehicles, such as hybrids or electric cars. Additionally, using public transportation, carpooling, or biking and walking whenever possible can help minimize emissions. Proper vehicle maintenance, such as regular tune-ups and tire inflation, can also improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.


How do hybrid cars reduce greenhouse gases?

It doesn't reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It reduces the amount of gasoline your car burns because there are more, "miles to the gallon," and therefore reduces the amount of carbon dioxide your car produces.


Do hybrid cars produce carbon dioxide why are there two engines?

Yes, hybrid cars usually have two engines, a gasoline one and an electric motor.When the gasoline engine is running, it burns fossil fuel and releases carbon dioxide.When the electric motor is running (powered by batteries) it doesn't release carbon dioxide, but the electricity that charged the batteries might have been generated in fossil fuel (coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear) power plants. These all release CO2.If the electricity was generated from solar, hydro, wind power or another kind of renewable source, then no carbon dioxide was released.


What do you call a new variety of plant produced by cross-fertilizing related plants?

A hybrid.

Do hybrid cars emit carbon dioxide?

Yes. if they are whole or even partly driven using fossil fuel then they create emissions


What are the hybrid trucks exactly?

Hybrid trucks are trucks that produce less carbon emissions than a regular truck would, it may not run only off' petrol but in some cases even off gas or battery.


Hybrid Car Emissions are Extremely Low?

One of the major benefits that comes hand in hand with owning a hybrid car is that it produces substantially lower emissions than other types of cars. Due to the dual propulsion technology used in hybrid cars, even a hybrid with the filthiest gas engine on Earth would still produce less emissions than a traditional car. This dual technology is a big part of what makes hybrid car emissions so low.


Do they have hybrid buses in bigger cities?

There are hybrid buses being manufactured and used. They are diesel electric hybrids and although they do not completely eliminate emissions they do lower the emissions produced by such engines.


What are the benefits of buying an Escalade hybrid?

"Buying an Escalade hybrid, or any other type of hybrid for that matter, can be a very beneficial choice for several reasons. They release little to no carbon emissions, making them much better for the environment, and are extremely cost-efficient, as well as the added benefit of being eligible for a tax write-off."


Water Hybrid Cars Increase Gas Mileage And Lower Carbon Emissions?

Water hybrid vehicles still rely on gasoline as fuel. Water hybrid vehicles need an HHO, a hybrid hydrogen oxygen system. The HHO is a fuel cell that breaks water down into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen gas is added to the gasoline to enhance combustion. When the hydrogen gas is ignited in the cylinders it converts back to water. Not only do water hybrid cars increase gas mileage, they clean out carbon from the exhaust gas.

How do hybrid cars help people and the environment?

They let off fewer emissions into the environment.


What is the need and use of hybrid cars?

Many people feel that hybrid cars will save them money concerning gas prices. Others feel that hybrid cars are better for the environment due to the lack of emissions.


Engineers at a car company compare costs for developing a hybrid car as opposed to developing a more fuel-efficient engine to lower carbon monoxide emissions?

Today's technology makes this a little counter intuitive.The Hybrid car will be more environmentally harmful to build , run, and finally scrap than a similar size and worse fuel economy car.The non Hybrid version of the car can be built to make as good economy and as low emissions at a lower cost. It can be done and cheaper than the Hybrid.The problem is public perception, the Hybrid will sell better.So How do your example engineers sell a car with out the easy sell hybrid technology? They don't, The marketing department does that.


Do Hybrids have lower emissions than standard vehicles?

Hybrid cars have substantially lower exhaust emissions than normal cars and are better for the environment. Hybrid cars of all types get much better mileage per gallon of gas than normal cars.


Are hybrid vehicles a good trend for automobiles?

Hybrid vehicles are an excellent way to for us to become more green and be environmentally-conscious. The biggest draw to using a hybrid vehicle is the low gas emissions and the consumption of less petroleum.
