Carbon dioxide is produced when you burn carbon-containing fuels like coal, natural gas and oil. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are climbing, and many experts believe it’s a greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. Recently, several states, the European Union and some other countries announced plans to control carbon dioxide emissions. A proposed idea to reduce emissions is to allow companies to trade credits. If companies emit less than they’re permitted, they could sell their extra credits to companies that are otherwise over their limits. Then companies that reduce their emissions can receive revenue to offset related costs.

You can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by increasing combustion efficiency. Examples include tightening furnaces, installing heat recovery systems or using oxygen assisted combustion.
