The Project
Problem Statement
The massive amounts of carbon dioxide produced by automobiles may be a leading contributor to global warming. The adoption of greener automotives and cleaner technology is a long process that requires much investment. The problem is to develop a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions that can be retrofitted with current technology and widely available to car owners.
