Researchers in Chennai, India have made significant progress in improving diesel engine performance and reducing environmental impact by using hydrous hydrazine (HH) as a dual-function fuel additive. This study, led by the Saveetha School of Engineering, examined the application of HH as a hydrogen carrier and NOx suppressant to enhance
Air pollution
Researchers from Argonne National Laboratory have made significant discoveries regarding the use of dual fuel technology in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the heavy-duty transportation sector. The study, funded by the United States Department of Energy, explored the potential of combining diesel combustion with gaseous hydrogen fuel in a large
Air pollution
Researchers at the World Bank have derived optimal road fuel taxes for gasoline, diesel, and ethanol in Brazil, taking into account externalities such as carbon emissions, air pollution, accidents, congestion, and road damages. A value-added tax (VAT) of 26.5 per cent is added to the tax for gasoline and
Air pollution
Researchers have detailed new data in Environment and Sustainability Research, highlighting the significance of greenhouse gas emissions in drinking water treatment sludge management. A life cycle assessment revealed that energy-intensive drying processes and chemical consumption dominate emissions in thermal treatment routes, while methane generation contributes to a substantial portion of
Climate change
New research conducted by the University of Aberdeen has shed light on the complexities of consumer attitudes towards healthy and sustainable diets in the UK. The study, which employed Q-methodology for the first time, revealed seven distinct factors that influence consumers' perspectives on sustainable eating practices. The findings suggest
