Many ports have begun to replace diesel-powered cranes with less-polluting electric cranes.
This parasitic load is normally a fraction of the heat output, so it is always less polluting than electric heating.
The brave new world of less-polluting electricity generation is creating some hiccups, experts at the institute said.
CHP uses primary energy as less polluting energy, providing high-efficiency electrical and thermal loads.
We should fix climate change by moving from very-polluting coal, to much less polluting gas".
Green Mountain started to push "less polluting" power, instead of the pollution-free kind.
Together with this mandate will be the responsibility to research and develop environmentally friendly and less polluting alternatives to fossil fuel, ranging from highly efficient electric car propulsion, biofuels where appropriate, and so on -- not exclusively, but in focused competition with and assistance to the private sector.
"That is why he is investing around £250m a year on sustainable long-term measures to tackle air quality such as a cycling revolution, converting the bus fleet to hybrid, increasing the use of zero-polluting electric vehicles and introducing the new bus for London, which will be 40% less polluting than a traditional diesel model," she said.
Vehicles are less polluting (see article).
The coal and electric utility industries say emerging clean-coal technologies could allow coal to be burned more efficiently and cleanly, with less polluting emissions.
But although electric cars are improving all the time, the combustion engine remains the dominant technology – albeit in more efficient and less polluting versions than its predecessors.
