This new technology, called “carbon capture and sequestration,” can cut by 80% the carbon dioxide emitted during the production of electricity.
Four factors influence the level of emissions: economic output per capita; the units of energy used to generate each unit of economic output; greenhouse gases emitted per unit of energy; and total population.
Moreover, we require areas to absorb the waste emitted by our energy use.
But these are not a person’s entire emissions – they are those emitted just from food.
