sources include vehicle emissions, coal-burning power plants, industrial emissions, and burning agricultural waste. The report also noted that many of these cities lack ground-level monitoring of PM2.5, At the same time, Beijing has expanded its monitoring system from 35 stations in 2013 to over 1000 in 2019.

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.
