So, a hydrogen fuel-cell car even running ... on hydrogen derived from natural gas cuts that carbon emission by 60%.
Buckyballs, as they became known colloquially, are football-shaped molecules made of 60 carbon atoms linked by single and double bonds.
But he went much further, acknowledging the scientific case for cutting global carbon dioxide emissions by 60% or more.
That's equivalent to the annual carbon emissions from nearly 60 million cars.
On Tuesday the government will launch its Climate Change Bill, which puts the government's long-term goal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60% by 2050 into statute.

Many of his announcements were reheated (such as bringing aviation into Europe's emissions-trading scheme), modest (the climate-change levy, an industrial tax, will rise with inflation) or so speculative as to be irrelevant (a suggestion that the target for carbon cuts might be raised to 80% by 2050 from 60%).
Also, the cleaner burning fuel reduces combustion byproducts over petroleum and diesel, cutting carbon monoxide emissions by an estimated 90%-97%, and nitrogen dioxide emissions by 35%-60%.
