Measurements of CO2 and CO in China’s Air Indicate Sharply Improved Combustion Efficiency

Green Car Congress

Inefficient processes like wood- and coal-burning in domestic stoves convert less than 90 percent of the carbon fuel to CO 2 , releasing the remainder as CO and wasting some of the energy. CO2 and its correlation with CO at a rural site near Beijing: implications for combustion efficiency in China, Atmos. Munger, J. McElroy, M.
