The finding could help combustion chemists make more-efficient, less-polluting fuels and help materials scientists fine-tune their carbon nanotubes and graphene sheets for faster, smaller electronics. Specifically, the fundamental chemistry discovery could be used to find or to design fuels that burn cleaner and don’t produce as much soot.

The study, which is also testing Ford PHEVs on the streets of London and Valencia, Spain, aims to better analyse and show the real-world benefits of such vehicles for the environment and for commercial vehicle owners and operators. Geofencing creates a virtual geographic boundary defined by GPS technology.

Alternative LNG drive systems for ships reduce air pollutant emissions significantly—CO 2 by up to 25% and NO x by up to 30%, particulate matter by up to 60% and SO x by as much as 100%. The Volkswagen Group is shouldering its responsibility for the environment.

While scrappage schemes have the potential to deliver on objectives such as reducing pollutant emissions, these have not done so as well. Further, the study suggests that seeking CO 2 reduction ahead of pollution or safety improvements in the design of the schemes leads to decreased cost-effectiveness and lower overall societal benefit.

There is an exception to that in the category of what they call super pollutants, the very powerful but shorter-lived gases and chemicals that come from things like fertilizer production, methane. So that’s one class. So those are really important, and those are a little bit different. So it’s been observed before.
