Our tests show that even in optimal conditions, with a full battery, the cars pollute more than advertised. Selling plug-in hybrids makes it easier for carmakers to meet their EU car CO2 standards as PHEVs are currently given additional credits. Unless you drive them softly, carbon emissions can go off the charts.

The gas is first cooled to condense and remove moisture and residual pollutants before it enters the CO 2 absorber. The chilled ammonia pilot system withdraws about 1% of the flue gas between the outlet of the Unit 1 or Unit 2 FGD and the stack. There, the CO 2 is absorbed by an ammonia-based solution, separating it from the flue gas.
