New Study Reveals Ineffectiveness of Vehicle Exhaust Filters in Removing “Ultrafine” Pollution

A new study has revealed that vehicle exhaust filters may not be as effective in removing "ultrafine" pollution as previously thought. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of California, Riverside, found that while filters can remove larger particles from exhaust emissions, they are less effective at capturing ultrafine particles that are smaller than 100 nanometers in diameter.Ultrafine particles are a major concern for public health because they can penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream, causing a range of health problems including respiratory and cardiovascular

U.S. Energy Information Administration Reports on Fossil Fuel Use and Carbon Emissions

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is a government agency that provides data and analysis on energy production, consumption, and prices in the United States. The EIA regularly releases reports on the use of fossil fuels and the associated carbon emissions. These reports provide valuable insight into the current state of the energy industry and the progress being made in reducing carbon emissions. The EIA’s most recent report on fossil fuel use and carbon emissions was released in April 2021. The report found that the United States has been steadily

U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Report on Fossil Fuels and Emissions Shows Mixed Results

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently released its report on fossil fuels and emissions, and the results show a mixed picture. According to the report, total energy consumption in the United States rose by 1.5 percent in 2018, while emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from energy consumption increased by 2.7 percent. The report also found that natural gas consumption increased by 4.1 percent in 2018, while coal consumption decreased by 6.6 percent. This is the fourth consecutive year that natural gas consumption has grown, while coal consumption has declined.

UK CO2 Emissions Increase by up to 7% Due to Fuel-Duty Freezes

The United Kingdom has seen a significant increase in its CO2 emissions due to the government's decision to freeze fuel duty. According to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), the UK's CO2 emissions rose by up to 7% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The fuel duty freeze was introduced in 2011 and has been extended several times since then. It means that the price of petrol and diesel has remained the same for the past nine years, making it

UK CO2 Emissions Increase by Up to 7% Due to Fuel-duty Freezes: An Analysis

The United Kingdom has seen a significant increase in its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to fuel-duty freezes over the past few years. According to a report by the Committee on Climate Change (CCC), the UK’s CO2 emissions have risen by up to 7% since 2011, when the government first introduced the freeze. This is a worrying trend, as the UK is committed to reducing its emissions in order to meet its legally-binding climate change targets.The CCC report states that the main cause of the increase in emissions is the

The Impact of Efficient Railways on Carbon Credit Generation

Railways are an important part of the transportation infrastructure of many countries. They are used to transport people and goods from one place to another, and they are also a major source of carbon emissions. As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, it is important to reduce the amount of carbon emissions generated by railways. One way to do this is to make them more efficient. By improving the efficiency of railways, it is possible to reduce the amount of carbon emissions they generate, and this can have

Maritime Industry Reacts to Termination of Methanol as Marine Fuel

The maritime industry is facing a major shift in its fuel sources due to the termination of methanol as a marine fuel. This decision has been made in response to the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) 2020 global sulfur cap, which limits the sulfur content in marine fuels to 0.5%. Methanol, which is a form of alcohol, has been used as a marine fuel for many years due to its low sulfur content. However, the IMO’s new regulations have made it impossible to use methanol as a marine fuel. The termination

Maritime Industry Reacts To Decision To Cease Methanol Use As Marine Fuel

The maritime industry has been rocked by the recent decision to cease the use of methanol as a marine fuel.
