Although the presence of microplastics in the environment is raising concerns, the amount of microplastics in air and water is small compared to another polymer that pollutes air and water: micro rubber. Since the year 2000, the guidelines for the recycling of water and the prevention of soil pollution have been significantly tightened.

Sources already subject to the 2012 NSPS requirements for VOC reductions that also would be covered by the proposed 2015 methane requirements would not have to install additional controls, because the controls to reduce VOCs reduce both pollutants. EPA required green completions for hydraulically fractured natural gas wells in its 2012 rules.

Furthermore, as water levels fall, so does water quality, as there is less of it available in which to dilute pollutants. The decline of heavy industry, combined with more efficient water use and greater on-site recycling of waste water means that the amount of water used by industry has declined over the past 15 years.

The climate crisis is also having a severe effect on the planet, which is being battered by pollution, deforestation, and soil degradation. Ninety-nine percent of the global population breathes in air that exceeds WHO-guideline limits on pollutants, with low- and middle-income countries suffering from the highest exposures.

Furthermore, every stage of the battery cell providers' supply chains will be inspected according to OECD guidelines. Along with CO 2 emissions, road traffic also produces significant levels of particle pollution. The efficiency of the filtration system increases further when there is a higher level of particle pollution.

In general, biofuels made from organic waste are environmentally more benign than those from energy crops. Low-input cultivation of perennial plants, e.g. from short-rotation forestry and grasslands, may be an effective source of cellulosic biomass and provide environmental benefits (reduced pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions).

EPR guidelines and recycling targets The EPR guidelines, which came into effect in July 2022, set a recycling target of 70% of the weight of new tyres manufactured or imported in FY 2022 for FY24. The top executive claims that all other manufacturers in the tyre industry are also expected to be taking similar steps.

The EPR programme, initiated by the government, mandates producers, importers, recyclers, and re-treaders to ensure effective utilisation and management of waste tyres. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), under the Ministry of Environment, has already granted registrations to 144 producers and 252 recyclers during FY23–24.

Therefore, EVs remain a key focus area for India’s efforts to combat air pollution, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and achieve its climate change goals. The Ministry of Power has issued revised guidelines and standards for charging infrastructure to enhance the station density and distance between charging stations.

Cobalt uses non-food feedstock, such as forest waste and mill residues, and its technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 85% compared to gasoline. A 12% blend of Cobalt biobutanol with gasoline, already permissible under US EPA guidelines, complies with the requirements of California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard. Source: Cobalt.

To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop. The electrical system has perhaps 85% excess capacity most of the year which means we are wasting money in excess electric generation and distribution infrastructure and resources.
