Emissions Control

That's without any modification to the ships themselves, too. The ambitious 'Blue Visby Solution' proposes enormous fuel and emissions savings for cargo ships worldwide, simply by being smarter about speed and timing and eliminating inefficiencies.

A rare decarbonization idea that looks as good for business as it does for the planet. This system promises to radically reduce carbon dioxide emissions for 70% of steelmakers, while generating profits and making use of existing blast furnaces.

Following a similar decision in the European Union, the state of California has announced it's phasing out new sales of diesel and gasoline cars by 2035, setting aggressive targets along the way. This move will have dramatic effects across the USA.

UC Berkeley chemists say they've created a simple, and very inexpensive way to capture carbon dioxide using a polymer called melamine, that's far cheaper than metal-organic frameworks. It could capture carbon emissions from smokestacks or tailpipes.

We already have devices which detect vehicles that are exceeding the speed limit, or that are too noisy. Now, scientists are working on an unmanned sensor that could be used to sniff out automobiles that are emitting overly-dirty exhaust.

Initial results of Peugeot 208 and 508 model testing by the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy comply with new regulations thanks to new technology. The results, says Peugeot Citroen, confirm the effectiveness of the BlueHDi after-treatment system for diesel exhaust.

Thanks to the humble sea urchin, a team from the U.K.’s Newcastle University has stumbled across a quick and cheap way to convert CO2 into calcium carbonate.

Nissan has launched an energy efficient coastal car carrier called the Nichio Maru that employs solar panels, LED lighting, a low friction hull coating hull and an electronically controlled diesel engine to cut fuel consumption.

The scooter and motorcycle are morphing into a new form with the power, braking and roadholding of the motorcycle, and carrying capacity, protection, comfort and ease-of-use of the scooter.

Audi's travolution project sets up a dialogue between vehicles and traffic lights in order to keep traffic flowing.

Researchers at MIT have released a new report showing that even moderate carbon-reduction policies can substantially lower the risk of future climate change but that quick action is needed to avoid a temperature increase of more than 2°C.

The energy conservation message is getting through with a new study from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) finding that consumers are factoring energy efficiency when it comes to buying electronics for the home.
