  2. Carbon tetrachloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tetrachloride

    Carbon tetrachloride, also known by many other names (such as carbon tet for short and tetrachloromethane, also recognised by the IUPAC), is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CCl 4. It is a non-flammable, dense, colourless liquid with a "sweet" chloroform -like odour that can be detected at low levels.

    The scale uses the global warming potential unit, the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e), and the unit of electrical energy, the kilowatt hour (kWh). The goal of such assessments is to cover the full life of the source, from material and fuel mining through construction to operation and waste management.

    The findings are presented in units of global warming potential per unit of electrical energy generated by that source. The scale uses the global warming potential unit, the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e), and the unit of electrical energy, the kilowatt hour (kWh). The goal of such assessments is to cover the full life of the source, from ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_environmental...

    The phase-out of fossil fuels and coal and transition to renewable and low-carbon power sources will make electricity generation greener, which will reduce the impact of electric vehicles that use that electricity. Most of the lithium-ion battery production occurs in China, where the bulk of energy used is supplied by coal burning power plants ...

  9. Low-carbon electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-carbon_electricity

    Low-carbon electricity or low-carbon power is electricity produced with substantially lower greenhouse gas emissions over the entire lifecycle than power generation using fossil fuels. [ citation needed ] The energy transition to low-carbon power is one of the most important actions required to limit climate change .
