The first study to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of lifetime exposure to new technology diesel exhaust (NTDE)—i.e., exhaust from heavy-duty diesel engines meeting EPA 2007 and later emissions requirements—has found no evidence of carcinogenic lung tumors. Earlier post.)

To improve fuel efficiency, advanced combustion engines are being designed to minimize the amount of waste heat in the exhaust. Their work, published this week in the journal Science , presents a new way to create a more powerful catalyst while using smaller amounts of platinum—the most expensive component of emission-control catalysts.

Electrifying transportation is critical to addressing the climate crisis and cutting tailpipe emissions, both of which disproportionately harm Indigenous, Black, and other communities of color. The shift to electric vehicles is a tremendous win for air quality, public health, energy security, jobs, and the planet.

The study—a component of the Advanced Collaborative Engine Study (ACES)—is exposing rats and mice for 16 hours a day to emissions from a heavy duty diesel engine meeting 2007 US EPA standards that reduce emissions of fine particles and other pollutants by more than 90% from levels emitted by older engines.

The current electrical grid is poorly designed for distributed generation of power. Smart meters and substations will be integral. Installation will be made of thousands of in-home control devices and the necessary systems to fully automate home energy use. 2) Chevy Volt (2) China (2) ECOD3.SA SZ (1) 6753.T 2) Chevy Volt (2) China (2) ECOD3.SA
