The Coalition for Responsible Transportation’s (CRT) truck fleets serving the Oakland Port have achieved compliance with the Port of Oakland’s Clean Truck Management Plan’s (CTMP) emissions standards.
Microbial Solutions Ltd (MSL), an Oxfordshire company that has developed award-winning ecologically friendly bacterial technologies to dispose of metal working fluids, has launched two new bioreactors. Made to an innovative design, the bioreactors can be enlarged or reduced in size to suit the very different requirements of engineering companies for disposal of hazardous metal working fluids and associated oil contaminated materials.
Called “Hisarna”, the technology has the potential to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide in the blast furnace steelmaking route by more than 50%.
The Bay Area Quality Management District issues the first alert for the season, ‘Winter Spare the Air Alert’ on 26 November 2009. This main task carried is out by the Bay Area Quality Management District, which is the regional agency in this area, to protect the quality of air in the Bay Area.
Samantha Lawrence has conducted a research, which projected the necessity to establish a law with reference to non-exhaust emissions from tires, brakes and road surface wear. This 27 year old doctor completed her thesis titled: Tunnel Measurements and Source Apportionment Modelling to Quantify Atmospheric Particle Emissions from Non-Exhaust Sources, under the guidance of Dr. Ravindra Khaiwal, Dr. Hongjun Mao and Professor Ranjeet Sokhi at the Center of Atmospheric and Instrumentation Research.
The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) and Pollution Probe have launched a primer on Automobile Fuel Efficiency and Emissions. Being the first of its kind, this primer focuses on reducing environmental footprint and enables drivers to save fuel by providing them with a list of fuel reduction measures. Technological and driving factors are also imparted to the drivers to educate them on fuel efficiency.
Peatlands or wetlands in tropical regions remove large amount of organic carbon. But, now-a-days, human activities have an impact on these wetlands. Large-scale fires, triggered by drainage projects in combination with repeated droughts, can release large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which ultimately leads to global warming. Prof. Florian Siegert and his research group at GeoBio-Center, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat (LMU) have estimated the volume of peat burned in fires with accuracy, with the help of laser-based measurements.
Research carried out at the University of Hertfordshire by a PhD student calls for the introduction of legislation related to non-exhaust emissions (from road surface wear, brakes or tyres), after sampling atmospheric particles within the Hatfield Tunnel.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) received appreciation for its preliminary draft regulation (PDR) by the Environmental Defense Fund. The preliminary draft regulation helps in designing a cap-and-trade program, as simultaneous measures, to reduce pollution caused by global warming, and the measures are formulated by the Environmental Defense Fund. The Global Warming Solutions Act expects to reduce pollution caused by global warming to 15 percent by the year 2020.
An osmotic prototype plant, which is considered as the first of its kind in the world, is developed by Statkrat, a Norwegian company, in collaboration with R&D organizations from many other countries.
