How are vehicle CO₂ emissions calculated?
Emissions are calculated by multiplying your annual mileage by fuel consumption per 100 km, then multiplying by the CO₂ emission factor for your fuel type (e.g., 2.31 kg CO₂/liter for gasoline).
Which fuel type produces the least CO₂?
Electric vehicles produce zero direct emissions. Among combustion fuels, LPG produces the least CO₂ per liter (1.51 kg), followed by gasoline (2.31 kg) and diesel (2.68 kg).
How can I reduce my vehicle's emissions?
Drive at steady speeds, maintain proper tire pressure, keep the engine well-maintained, reduce unnecessary weight, and consider switching to a more efficient or electric vehicle.
Do electric vehicles really have zero emissions?
Electric vehicles produce zero direct (tailpipe) emissions. However, total lifecycle emissions depend on how the electricity is generated. In Moldova, the energy mix includes both renewable and fossil fuel sources.
