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 else can I help you with?
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.
What kind of hybrid orbital is used in CO2?
In CO2, carbon uses sp2 hybrid orbitals. The carbon atom in CO2 undergoes hybridization to form three sp2 hybrid orbitals, which are used to form sigma bonds with two oxygen atoms.
What is the hybrid state of c atom in charcoal?
The carbon atom in charcoal is in a hybrid state known as sp2 hybridization. This means that the carbon atom forms three equivalent sp2 hybrid orbitals in a trigonal planar geometry, allowing it to form strong covalent bonds with other atoms.
Can hybrid plants that dont produce seed still pollinate other plants?
yes. in most (highly) hybridized plants seeds are produced but are either infertile or the genetics of the plant prohibit successful fertilization and the production of seed. this is very common occurrence amongst F1 Hybrid vegetable seed varieties. most hybrid plants do however produce viable pollen, allowing the hybrid plant to pollinate a non-hybrid plant. this is one of the major points of contention with genetically modified crops; where the "inserted" gene could in fact find its way into other closely situated crops.
When 2 species produce a hybrid offspring that is infertile is reproductive isolation between the two species still maintained?
Yes, reproductive isolation is still maintained when two species produce a hybrid offspring that is infertile. This infertility prevents the hybrid from successfully reproducing and passing on genes to future generations, thereby ensuring that the two parent species remain distinct. The inability to produce viable offspring reinforces the separation between the species, contributing to their evolutionary divergence.
What cars produce less Co2?
Hybrid cars produce less carbon dioxide because they run partially on an electric motor and partially on a gasoline engine. Therefore a hybrid will produce less CO2 than a car that relies solely on a gasoline powered engine.
Do hybrid cars emit carbon dioxide?
Yes. if they are whole or even partly driven using fossil fuel then they create emissions
Where can I find more information on hybrid engines?
Here are some articles that highlights all the ins and outs of hybrid engines: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/hybridtech.shtml and http://www.howstuffworks.com/hybrid-car.htm
What two mechanical devices that have changed because of environmental concerns?
Automobiles have changed by incorporating more fuel-efficient technologies like hybrid engines. Heating and cooling systems have also evolved to be more energy-efficient, reducing carbon emissions.
What manufacturers produce hybrid automobiles?
There are many manufactures that produce hybrid automobiles. Examples of manufactures who produce hybrid automobiles includes Ford, Toyota, Lexus, and Honda.
What are the two categories of search engines?
There are two types of search engines 1. Hybrid search engines 2. Meta search engines
What are the two types of hybrid car engines?
Typically the two types of engines deployed in the modern hybrid car is a small gasoline engine combined with an electric engine.
What are two ways you can reduce carbon emissions from transportation in general?
Reduce the use of the transport. That is, move people using public transport rather than each in their individual vehicle. Use trains instead of buses, buses instead of cars.Develop engines that don't rely on fossil fuels like petroleum. Hybrid engines will reduce emissions. So will electric vehicles, and as more and more electricity is generated from renewable sources, then the movement of electric vehicles will be carbon dioxide free.
Are there any hybrid forester cars?
No, there are not. Subaru has not yet implemented any hybrid cars, though there is word that, in 2012, Subaru plans on creating and using hybrid engines. I'm not quite sure if they will be using these engines in their line of Foresters.
Why do electric cars produce sulfur dioxide?
Electric Cars produce sulfur dioxide from their batteries. The manufacturing process of Nickel Metal Hydride (ex. Toyota Prius) and Lithium Ion (ex. Hyundai Sonanta Hybrid) batteries creates a lot of sulfur emissions. A conventional internal combustion engine vehicle actually emits less sulfur oxides to the atmosphere than electric and hybrid vehicles.
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.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of hybrid search engines?
