C1 4.4 Cleaner Fuels

Author: Gemma Boyson

Hello folks,

This "tutorial" is a little bit different.

We've seen in the previous videos and in class that there are several pollutants produced when we burn fossil fuels - such as carbon dioxide, carbon particulates, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen.

I haven't yet made a nice catch-all video to tell you everything, but below are a few short videos that will help you to answer the learning objective questions.

So don't write everything down - just pick out the information you need to answer the questions. And note down anything you want to cover more in class.
