LED lights reduced carbon dioxide emissions by more than 0. 5 billion tons in 2017

According to foreign media reports, it looks like a light emitting diode (LED) The popularization of has played a very positive role in environmental protection. According to a new survey by IHS Markit, the number of LED lights used to quantify buildings and outdoors decreased by about 5 in 2017. Carbon dioxide emissions of 0. 7 billion tons. This is equivalent to 1. 5% of the carbon footprint. About 5. According to foreign media reports, it looks like a light emitting diode (LED) The popularization of has played a very positive role in environmental protection. According to a new survey by IHS Markit, the number of LED lights used to quantify buildings and outdoors decreased by about 5 in 2017. Carbon dioxide emissions of 0. 7 billion tons. This is equivalent to 1. 5% of the carbon footprint. About 5. In order to be more vivid, IHS made a special analogy, which reduced the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to shutting down 162 coal-fired power plants. It is understood that when the same light is generated, the LED lamp uses 40 less electricity than the fluorescent lamp and 80 less than the incandescent lamp. As Jamie Fox, chief analyst of IHS lighting and LED lamp team, pointed out, the efficiency of LED is the essential reason for its environmental protection. Compared with traditional bulbs, LED has many advantages, such as its longer service life, this means that people will need to produce fewer bulbs, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution during manufacturing, transportation and sales. More importantly, unlike fluorescent lamps, LED lamps do not contain toxic chemical mercury. Although LED bulbs have been available for several years, consumers are discouraged by their high prices. However, this situation has begun to ease. For example, Philips 16 LED bulbs are priced at $25 (Equivalent to about 163 yuan) Not yet, that is, the price of each bulb is about 1. Around $56 (Equivalent to RMB about 10 yuan).
