Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University, suggests that carbon capture technologies are inefficient and increase air pollution. However, this research finds that it reduces only a small fraction of carbon emissions, and it usually increases air pollution. A study by Mark Z. —Mark Jacobson.

Greater reliance on energy taxation is needed to strengthen efforts to tackle the principal source of both greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, according to a new OECD report. In 2015, outside of road transport, 81% of emissions were untaxed, according to the report. In road transport, 97% of emissions are taxed.

Soot particles from oil and wood heating systems as well as road traffic can pollute the air in Europe on a much larger scale than previously assumed. During transport, ageing processes not only change the chemical composition of the particles, but also influence their physical properties (e.g. forest fires).

The sedimentary-clay deposit at Thacker Pass will use similar mining techniques to many coal deposits. In 2019, Lithium Americas entered into a mine design, consulting and mine operations agreement with Sawtooth Mining, a subsidiary of North American Coal. GBRW submitted an independent report on the proposed tailings facility.

In addition to keeping anthropogenic CO 2 out of the atmosphere, this technology will lead to benefits and trade-offs for air pollution, according to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). The report shows that while CCS may have an overall positive effect on air pollution, emissions of some pollutants may increase.
