A new development from ENSO will offer sustainable tires for electric vehicles that will help to make them more environmentally friendly and address the challenges currently faced by the electric vehicle sector.
Deoxygenation boosts greenhouse gas emissions, inhibits diverse life processes, diminishes halobiotic abundance, and collapses ecosystems. Researchers looked at the ToE of oxygen changes over all vertical zones of the global ocean as predicted by two sets of large ensemble simulations from the Common Earth System Model (CESM) that represented low- and high-emission paths.
