Abstract :
In this paper it will show that improvements in some key applications in the core it is possible to reduce the CO2 emission substantially. Wasted electronic power can be converted directly into CO2 emissions. The cost of this investment pays back within one to five years. Automotive manufacturer will benefit financially from lower CO2 penalty payments.
