Test of Planet-Cooling Scheme Could Start in 2022

Cars That Think

Up there, 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, ozone molecules absorb the sun’s ultraviolet light, protecting life far below. Preventing further, more perilous levels of warming will require immediately shifting away from fossil fuels, scaling up renewable energy, and potentially even removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Study finds that optimizing engine parameters for renewable diesel can reduce PM and NOx both by more than 25%

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers in Finland reports that by adjusting engine parameters for the use of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) renewable diesel fuel across a range of loads (50%, 75%, and 100%), particulate matter and NO x emissions can both be reduced by more than 25% relative to the values from using HVO with standard engine conditions.
