A new briefing paper from Imperial College London estimates that in 2021, 52% of all small particle pollution from road transport came from tires and brakes. Six million tonnes of tire wear particles (TWP) are released globally each year, and in London alone, 2.6 Imperial College London (2023). Imperial College London.

The reason is simple: cars are getting cleaner. A comparison with London found that VOC mixing ratios in 2008 are at about the same level in both cities, but in London a much stronger decrease from higher mixing ratios in 1998 has led to the current mixing ratios. The difference was amazing. —Warneke et al.

This is cleaner and better for the environment than producing petrol and diesel. This will allow the grid to draw renewable energy from cars and vans which are plugged in, with their batteries replenished when energy is cleaner at off-peak times. That’s why the UK Government has banned the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.

Aqua Metals has developed a process that it says is much cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective. But the start of a cleaner way of recycling is that you grind them up and separate the materials, and you create this material called black mass, which looks like a black sandy material.

This is due to the 30 to 40 percent increase in emissions EVs create in comparison to manufacturing an ICE vehicle, mainly from its battery production. Just accounting for miles driven , however, BEVs cars and trucks appear cleaner than ICE equivalents nearly everywhere in the U.S.

In comparison, traditional combustion engines take longer to get engine-generated power to the wheels and might need to rev up in order to reach maximum torque. To put things into perspective, this means you could easily go from Brussels to Paris (316 km) or from London to Liverpool (350 km) without any stops for charging.
