DOE awards $35M to 12 ARPA-E projects to reduce methane emissions; 5 on natural gas engines

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced $35 million in funding for twelve projects focused on developing technologies to reduce methane emissions in the oil, gas, and coal industries. The system will significantly increase methane conversion efficiency and comply with future stringent nitrous oxide regulations.

Discovery of mechanism for atmospheric particle formation suggests need for ammonia emission regulations

Green Car Congress

Scientists from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), University of Colorado Boulder, and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México performed a “CT Scan” of the atmosphere, moving along latitudes and longitudes, measuring particle concentrations and compositions in the upper troposphere. The emission sources are limited up there.
