Question

What is your lowest source of carbon emission

Answer 1

Answer:

Compressed natural gas is a low source of carbon dioxide emission.

Answer 2

Nuclear power is the lowest source of carbon emission according to recent studies.

• We know that fossil fuels contribute to the highest carbon emissions and we believe renewable sources of energy like solar, wind, etc. emit zero to negligible amounts of carbon.
• But even the renewable green sources of energy do emit carbon during their different stages of energy harvesting like the construction, operation stages, etc.
• So, when we consider this overall carbon emission from various sources, it is nuclear power that releases the least carbon during its entire lifecycle.
• The studies tell nuclear power emits 5 to 6.5g of $CO_{2}$ for every one kilowatt-hour of power generation whereas all other sources emit more than 7g of $CO_{2}$
