After nearly a decade of negotiations, nations have come to a “landmark” global shipping agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The new International Maritime Organization (IMO) Framework introduced a carbon pricing mechanism that will require ships with high emissions to pay for the excess pollution they release, reported UN News. It also sets mandatory fuel […]
New survey results have revealed that vehicle tires are the biggest source of nanoparticle pollution in the remote Alps. In the Alpine survey, trained mountaineer citizen scientists collected samples of high-altitude glaciers, and scientists used a method called thermal desorption-proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry (TD-PTR-MS) to analyze the samples for nanoplastics. Mountaineers collected samples from 14 […]

In Barcelona, energy from train brakes that could otherwise be wasted is now being harvested to charge electric vehicles. As part of Spain’s MetroCHARGE project, 16 subway stations in Barcelona use brake energy recuperators to redirect energy from the train brakes to EV charging stations on the streets, The Associated Press reported. Regenerative braking is […]
A new study has revealed that modern batteries in electric vehicles may last up to 40% longer than expected thanks to stop-and-go driving patterns that help recharge batteries on the go. According to researchers, the common lab testing methods to determine battery life may not be the most accurate way to estimate how long EV […]
The United Kingdom set a new record for electric vehicle (EV) sales in November, with more than 25 percent of total car registrations being for EVs, according to the most recent statistics from New AutoMotive.
