Researchers at EPFL have patented a new concept that could cut trucks’ CO 2 emissions by almost 90%. First, the vehicle’s flue gases in the exhaust pipe are cooled down and the water is separated from the gases. Only 10% of the CO 2 emissions cannot be recycled, and the researchers propose to offset that using biomass.
