By PluginIndia In this article and video, we show the real truth on how Petrol and Diesel vehicles cause far more air pollution compared to electric vehicles. Some even say that it pollutes even more than a diesel or petrol burning car. Refining oil takes a huge amount of energy and generates even more pollution.

By comparison, Japan tops the list with 284 ships, followed by Norway, which has 102. But these ships have been in short supply in recent years, with older vessels being retired and new ship orders down due to both the 2008 financial crisis and the industry upgrade to less-polluting fuels, reports MIT Technology Review.

Italy has some of the oldest, most polluting cars in Europe, and is lagging way behind other European countries in EV adoption, with an incentive program that has been practically nonexistent.

EPA’s regulatory responsibilities expanded during its first two decades, and many forms of pollution were identified and reduced. Automobiles became more energy-efficient and less polluting. Decarbonization will resemble our efforts at pollution control. The argument that electric vehicles pollute too much is not persuasive.

Here are some of the key advantages of electric vehicles: Environmental Benefits: EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, meaning they do not release pollutants like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and other harmful gases into the atmosphere. Here itself there is a little advantage in terms of pollution.

An international study of 10 global cities found that a balance of geophysical factors (climate, access to resources, and gateway status) and technical factors (power generation, urban design, and waste processing) determine the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) attributable to cities.

That means algae can also grow in—and clean— municipal waste water.

The higher the percentage of EVs on the road, the lower the air pollution. Just be careful to conserve your water consumption because if you leave your hose running and spray water for hours on end, you’ll waste so much water that you’ll have a net loss on your going green efforts. It leaves zero emissions on the roadways.

Val Miftakhov: As you can imagine, we did a lot of this [comparison] early on as well. With biofuels, if you look at the relative efficiency of converting solar energy into biofuel versus solar energy into hydrogen, it’s not even a comparison, it’s ridiculous, it’s 500 times difference. It makes a lot of sense.

But theyve needed definitive proof that PHEVs wont increase pollution.

Because it is very difficult to remove lignin using existing enzymes, this process requires preprocessing with sulfuric acid at high temperatures, which in turn requires preprocessing and treatment of waste liquids and the consumption of large amounts of energy, Moriya says. As a result, says Moriya, they produce oil for buoyancy.

I mean, when the electricity it uses is produces, pollution still happens, just not "right from your car"? Having centralized energy production in that way allows for centralized pollution control measures, filters, so-called "clean coal" rather than depending on X number of cars, manufacturers, and consumers to deal with pollution control.
