Berkeley Lab/U. Hawaii team provides direct experimental evidence for mechanism for PAH formation in combustion; cleaner fuels could result

Green Car Congress

Specifically, the fundamental chemistry discovery could be used to find or to design fuels that burn cleaner and don’t produce as much soot. If the combustion process were perfect, only carbon dioxide and water would come out of a car’s tailpipe. —Parker et al.

US Steel to supply General Motors with US-sourced sustainable verdeX steel

Green Car Congress

verdeX production also uses less water, partly by capturing all storm water at the facility, utilizing it in production and returning it to the environment. BRS is the only steel mill in North America to combine an electric arc furnace (EAF) with a Ruhrstahl Heraeus (RH) degasser for cleaner, more formable steels.

ICL briefing paper estimates that 52% of all small particle pollution from road transport comes from tires and brakes

Green Car Congress

Tire wear particles pollute the environment, the air we breathe, the water run-off from roads and has compounding effects on waterways and agriculture. Large particles are carried from the road by rain into rivers, where they may leach toxic chemicals into the environment, whilst smaller particles become airborne and breathed in.
