low emission
Minimal pollution output
Low emission describes technology, vehicles, or practices that release relatively small amounts of pollutants or greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
The term appears most often in discussions of transportation and energy: low emission vehicles, low emission zones.
What counts as "low" shifts with regulations and technology—today's low emission standard may become tomorrow's baseline.
