Why carbon reduction and energy efficiency must be combined
With all the eyes focused on carbon emissions prior to Cancun, it’s vital not to lose sight of the need to combine carbon reduction with energy efficiency. Reducing carbon emissions is generally associated with an increase in energy efficiency. But, it is possible to reduce such carbon emissions while still operating inefficient systems.
A biomass boiler, for example, reduces carbon emissions because wood fuels are close to carbon neutral, but the biomass boiler should be energy efficient. ... |
