Researchers present new explanation for the long-range transport of PAH pollutants

Green Car Congress

When airborne particles (green) form before PAHs adhere, both the pollutants and particles dissipate quickly, as shown in the top row. But when the particles form in the presence of pollutants, which is what likely happens in nature, the longer-lasting particles enable the long-range transport of the pollutants (bottom).

Study findings suggest that switching from coal to natural gas would do little for global climate

Green Car Congress

Relying more on natural gas would reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, but it would do little to help solve the climate problem. The burning of coal releases more carbon dioxide than other fossil fuels, as well as comparatively high levels of other pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particles such as ash.

The proposed MOC will use a hydrothermally stable formulation to promote high conversion efficiencies in low-temperature and high-water concentration environments.(Selection Emissions of regulated pollutants such as carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and formaldehyde will be reduced, while nitrogen oxides will stay the same.

We Don’t Need a Jetsons Future, Just a Sustainable One

Cars That Think

Where we could manage and then reduce the amount of carbon in our atmosphere? Much of the motivation behind building new rockets or developing colonies on Mars is wrapped up in the rhetoric of our warming planet being something to escape from. What about reducing pollution in urban and poor communities?

and criteria pollutant (smog) emissions were estimated for the Zero-V based on a complete “well-to-waves” (WTW) analysis. The situation is dramatically improved using renewable hydrogen, such as that made from biogas, or by water electrolysis using wind or low-carbon nuclear power. The annual WTW CO 2 (eq.)

We Are ALL Tongan

Creative Greenius

It may be happening there first, but you will not escape no matter who you THINK you are… Because no matter what your heritage or where your people immigrated from in the past, when it comes to climate change… Today we are ALL Tongan. We’re all on the same island my friends. We are ALL Tongan.
