BMW dedicated a portion of its recent Innovation Days 2009 event to the topic of Intelligent Heat management as a mechanism for reducing fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. The remaining two-thirds are lost as waste heat going into the environment through the car’s exhaust emissions and through the radiator. Heating with waste heat.

Simple, effective solutions that can help lessen the impact of climate change already exist. That’s according to 2023 IEEE President Saifur Rahman , who was among the speakers from engineering organizations at the COP27 event held in Egypt in November. Some of them still need to be implemented, though, while others need to be improved.

EVs have distinct advantages over gas-powered vehicles in cold temperatures: An EV can be started and warmed up in a garage, even in sub-zero temperatures, as there are no harmful emissions, and this feature is often available and can be scheduled by smartphone app. Electric vehicles are popular in cold climates.

Estimating the magnitude of costs associated with future climate change impacts is very uncertain. This uncertainty is unavoidable, as the extent of damage will be dependent on the future development of society, particularly with respect to population and economic growth, but also how much value is attached to future events.

Their approach is to swap D-T fuels for readily available elements that, when fused, release energy that’s carried by charged particles, instead of neutrons. They also produce little or no radioactive waste. But these days, optimism is growing in an industry that is racing to solve the climate crisis—with or without neutrons.
