A Novel Diesel Fuel Additive to Improve Fuel Properties and to Reduce Emissions
Global air pollution is a serious threat caused by excessive use of fossil fuels for transportation. Despite the fact that diesel fuel is a big environmental pollutant as it contains different hydrocarbons, sulphur and crude oil residues, it is yet regarded as a highly critical fuel due to its wide applications. Nowadays, biodiesel as a renewable additive is blended with diesel fuel to achie...
متن کاملHarvesting Energy from CO2 Emissions
When two fluids with different compositions are mixed, mixing energy is released. This holds true for both liquids and gases, though in the case of gases, no technology is yet available to harvest this energy source. Mixing the CO2 in combustion gases with air represents a source of energy with a total annual worldwide capacity of 1570 TWh. To harvest the mixing energy from CO2-containing gas e...
متن کاملSCOPE AND POINT OF REGUlATION FOR PRICING POlICIES TO REDUCE FOSSIl- FUEl CO2 EmISSIONS
SUMMARy This issue brief examines the choice of what emissions to include—and where to regulate them—under a tax or tradable allowance policy to reduce fossil-fuel carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions. A companion brief (Issue Brief # 14) examines options for regulating non-CO 2 greenhouse gases (GHGs) and non-fossil CO 2 emissions. Several points emerge from this discussion: A regulatory program th...

متن کاملThe drive to reduce emissions and energy consumption
Variable-speed drives (VSDs) control the speed of machinery, pumps, mixers, fans and compressors to match the needs of the process. In many applications VSDs save so much energy that their economic payback time is only a matter of months. A new approach to the assessment of environmental impacts shows that the environmental payback time of VSDs can be even shorter, in many cases as little as on...
