Traffic contributes more to NO x emissions in Europe than previously thought, according to a new study by a team at the University of Innsbruck. The majority of the emissions is caused by diesel cars. An open-access paper on their work appears in Scientific Reports. TWC treatment can lead to a 10 fold reduction of NO.

Power use by TSMC increased by 85 percent between 2017 and 2022—30 times as fast as Taiwan’s industrial sector as a whole. Between 2017 and 2022, TSMC’s energy consumption nearly doubled to about 21,000 gigawatt-hours. Instead, the engineers found, the converters could kick in only when they sensed trouble.
