Capacitors’ capacity for minimizing CO₂ footprint – a small story
In an age where environmental sustainability is of utter importance, it is crucial to find innovative solutions to reduce energy consumption and minimize our carbon footprint. One such solution is found in capacitors. These unassuming electronic components not only play an important role in various systems, but also offer significant environmental benefits. Albeit very small – if counted one by one.
