Listen to the Silent Impact of EVs Increasing the number of EVs on the road will ultimately decrease the auto industry’s environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions. What isn’t often discussed is the potential for EVs to reduce noise pollution. With that in mind, here’s a closer look at EVs and their impact on noise pollution.

That insight could also help the car industry make cleaner combustion engines. The industrial processes behind crude oil refineries and the inner-workings of gas-powered combustion engines can emit PAHs, which can form into toxic air pollutants such as soot. Zhao et al. This work was supported by the DOE Office of Science.

The study, set in Singapore, suggests that better air quality will bring about climate co-benefits in reducing electricity generation via lower household demand, and thus mitigating carbon emissions. The findings showed that overall electricity demand grew by 1.1% measurements from the air-monitoring network. —Prof Salvo.

New 2018 data from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) indicates that the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) continues to drive production of a growing volume of cleaner transportation fuels for California consumers. The standard provides consumers with a growing variety and volume of cleaner fuels. To date almost 3.3

Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. Natural gas. This brief study analyzes, for each individual state, the changes from 2018 to 2020 in the use of coal (one of the two most polluting energy sources) to generate electricity. Geothermal.
