Is it possible to improve efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions while burning fossil fuels?
Yes. Although CO2 is an unavoidable by-product of burning fossil fuel, some fuels (such as natural gas) when burnt produce less CO2 than conventional energy sources like gasoline. Also, there are continuous advancements in existing technology that allow new-generation engines to reduce CO2 emission without compromising efficiency.
