Thanks to the catalytic converter in their cars, most people have an idea of what catalysis is. A catalytic converter , for example, uses palladium, rhodium, and platinum to convert pollutants like carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and nitrogen dioxide into water and carbon dioxide. But I have a couple of ideas.

Gasification is emerging as a core technology for the production of chemicals and cleaner power, and refers to a process for converting solid fuels, including coal, biomass, and wastes, into either fuel gas (containing CH 4 and some N 2 usually) or syngas (containing mainly H 2 and CO) for subsequent conversion into fuels and chemicals.

The basic idea behind ILUC is that biofuels use crops that might otherwise go to traditional uses, such as animal feed.

With these developing nations having relatively small carbon footprints and millions of people in deep poverty, they can argue the need to continue to pollute while they improve the lives of their citizens.

EVs reduce emissions at the tail pipe – to a very neat zero – but the air pollution they are responsible for varies enormously on the where and how they draw the power in their batteries from. What I don’t get is where the hatred, the bile, the determination that EVs are a bad idea, and possibly a deadly one, comes from.
