What does clean technology mean?

Low-pollution technology

Clean technology refers to products, processes and systems designed to provide a useful service while reducing environmental harm compared with less efficient alternatives. Its governing goals may include lower air pollution, reduced greenhouse-gas emissions, efficient use of energy and materials, less waste and protection of water and ecosystems. Examples can include renewable-energy systems, energy-efficient appliances, pollution-control equipment, water-saving devices and improved recycling processes. Therefore, option B is correct because low-pollution technology captures the central meaning. High-smoke technology increases pollution, waste-spreading technology harms land and communities, and water-damaging technology threatens a vital resource. Clean technology reduces impacts; it does not mean that every impact is automatically zero.
