A Low Carbon Economy

A low carbon economy (LCE) is an economy based on low carbon power sources that has a minimal output of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the environment biosphere, but especially refers to the low output of the GHG carbon dioxide (CO2). This is a type of economy that countries are striving towards in order to avoid a catastrophic climate change. Amongst industrialized nations, France has…
