low emissions

Environmentally friendly output

Low emissions describes technology, vehicles, or practices that release relatively small amounts of pollutants or greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

The phrase appears frequently in environmental policy and automotive marketing: a low emissions vehicle, low emissions standards.

What counts as "low" shifts with regulations and technology—today's low emissions may be tomorrow's baseline.
