With many countries planning legislation to slash carbon dioxide emissions from cars and trucks, developing low-CO2 vehicles has become a top priority for auto engineers.
Net CO2 emissions can be reduced in three main ways:
1. Encourage people to drive less.
2. Make cars more fuel efficient.
3. Use different fuels or propulsion systems that emit less CO2, such as hydrogen fuel cell cars.
But there is another idea: capturing a vehicle's CO2 before it reaches the atmosphere.
