What are New technologies that can help Improve Air Quality?
Everyone is affected by air pollution, whether they are wealthy or poor, old or young, male or female, urban or rural!
It's an issue that can't be solved in isolation; just as the causes of air pollution are numerous and varied, so must the remedies. To combat air pollution, we need creative solutions.
India is a breeding ground for new ideas, and here are few of them to help #BeatAirPollution
1: Gas to Liquids
Switching from gas to liquids is one approach for reducing emissions from diesel automobiles.
While electric and LPG provide whole different fuel systems, there are other methods that can help clean up current diesels. According to tests, using GTL in heavy-duty vehicles like trucks, buses, and ships can lower NOx emissions by 5-37 percent and PM emissions by 10-38 percent, depending on the vehicle's age.
Similarly, natural gas may be turned into dimethyl ether (DME), which is a possible diesel substitute. It is estimated that using DME decreases NOx emissions by roughly 25% and practically eliminates PM emissions when compared to regular diesel. DME is more difficult to execute than GTL since it necessitates engine modifications, although automakers like as Ford and Volvo are reportedly looking into the possibility of bringing DME-powered vehicles to market.
2: Hydrogen Fuel Additives
Emission reductions can also be achieved by utilizing additives to improve the present car's fuel combustion cycle. Independent experiments have shown that this improves fuel economy while lowering NOx, PM, hydrocarbon, and carbon monoxide emissions. The technology is commercially accessible and may be retrofitted to current automobiles and vans (petrol or diesel), albeit it has only been offered in modest numbers so far.
3: Autonomous vehicles
The development towards autonomous vehicles, sometimes known as "self-driving cars," is one of the automotive industry's megatrends.
This might significantly alter how vehicles utilize the road network, decreasing the stop-and-go character of traffic (which is partially driven by the way we humans drive automobiles) and allowing "vehicle platooning" on highways.
According to many studies, autonomous cars might improve fuel economy by 15-40%, lowering local pollutants as well as greenhouse gas emissions, not to mention the benefits in terms of safety and congestion.
4: Liquid air
New technologies are also being developed to address specific sources of pollution, such as liquid air. Refrigerated vans and trucks, for example, are a growing source of pollution in cities. While vehicles are required to meet pollution requirements, the auxiliary engines that power refrigeration units are usually uncontrolled and harmful.
5: Photo-catalytic materials
Deploying technologies that remove pollutants from the ambient air might be an option to cleaning up emissions from automobiles directly.
A number of firms, for example, are working on photo-catalytic treatments that remove pollutants from the air when exposed to sunshine. Roofing tiles, roofing felt, and even the road surface can all benefit from these treatments. According to a recent assessment by the Environmental Industries Commission, putting photo-catalytic treatment to roadways is one of the cheapest ways to reduce PM and NOx pollution, while more testing of the technique is needed to fully grasp its potential.
6: Air purification
The "Smog Free Tower" absorbs pollution and exhales clean air.
