The quest for cleaner air

Envirotec Magazine

Diverse compounds are emitted by everything from motor vehicles to power plants, and include both greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants – which are known to fuel global warming – as well as a host of volatile organic compounds that can lead to short- and long-term health problems in humans.

We are betting the bank on hydrogen. But are we ready for it?

Envirotec Magazine

Green hydrogen holds many promises: it can serve as a ‘battery’ for energy storage, it can be used in the chemical industry, and its only emission will be water vapour. To make this happen, you need to add some energy. When the hydrogen molecule is allowed to bond again, this energy will be released, though with some energy loss.

Ammonia tuning: Developing catalysts for cleaner fuels

Envirotec Magazine

The project is led by Bill Nimmo, Professor of Energy Engineering and Sustainability, with PhD student Madhumitha Rajendran. Background The decarbonisation of transport represents a vitally important component of global initiatives to minimise the impacts of climate change. However, NOx gases are a byproduct of ammonia combustion.

China’s new frontier for VOC regulations

GreenBiz

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combine with nitrogen oxide to create ozone, a key precursor to smog. Industries getting particular focus when it comes to VOC management in China include electronics, packaging and printing, pharmaceuticals, petrochemical, chemical, industrial coating, oil storage and transportation.

Air and noise quality study will help inform Oxford City’s future environmental policy approach

Envirotec Magazine

The new ‘OxAria’ study started on 1st July, extending an existing collaboration which has enabled five low-cost air pollution sensors to be installed at city centre locations, generating real-time information on key air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5,
