Chalmers study finds ship exhaust gas scrubbers responsible for up to 9% of certain hazardous emissions into Baltic Sea

Green Car Congress

New research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, finds that the discharge water from ships’ exhaust gas treatment systems—i.e., A scrubber is used on ships to clean exhaust gases, primarily to reduce emissions of sulfur oxides to the atmosphere.

EEA report: EVs are better for climate and air quality

Green Car Congress

Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. In future, with greater use of lower carbon electricity in the European mix the typical GHG emissions saving of BEVs relative to ICEVs will increase.

Study finds automobile tires are a potential source of carcinogenic dibenzopyrenes to the environment

Green Car Congress

Non-exhaust traffic sources of particles. However, traffic-related non-exhaust particles remain largely unchanged, making these emissions increasingly significant contributors to the environmental burden. These non-exhaust vehicle sources include: brake lining, tire and road-surface wear, and resuspension of road dust.

Researchers use LCLS to get real-time view of chemical reaction; important insight into how catalysts work

Green Car Congress

Catalytic converters in cars, for example, reduce emissions by converting exhaust to less toxic compounds. Future experiments at LCLS will examine more complex reactions and materials, Nilsson said.
