Question

co₂ equivalent emissions for full energy chain
which conclusion is supported by the information in the graph?
nuclear power releases less greenhouse gases than other forms of power.
nuclear power releases an average amount of greenhouse gases.
nuclear power releases no greenhouse gases.
nuclear power releases more greenhouse gases than other forms of power.

Explanation:

The graph shows CO₂ - equivalent emissions for different energy sources. For nuclear power, the maximum value is 30 gCO₂ - eq/kWh and the minimum is 9 gCO₂ - eq/kWh. Compared to coal (max 1290 gCO₂ - eq/kWh), oil (max 890 gCO₂ - eq/kWh), and gas (max 1234 gCO₂ - eq/kWh), nuclear power has much lower emissions. Hydro, wind, solar PV, and biomass also have relatively low emissions, but nuclear power still has among the lowest emissions.

Answer:

Nuclear power releases less greenhouse gases than other forms of power.
