The algae can absorb as much as 75 percent of the exhaust gas, claims U.S. firm GreenFuel Technologies, using its bespoke bio-reactor.
One is exhaust gas recirculation, which pumps cooled exhaust back into the engine air intake, lowering the combustion temperature and reducing NOx formation.
Bolt comes with a trick-looking two-into-one exhaust system, which includes an oxygen sensor and exhaust gas catalyst that works with the closed-loop fuel injection system.
The largest problem is the dangerous amount of nitrogen oxide (which mixes with vehicle-exhaust gas to create ozone, and then smog) coughed out by the state's industrial plants.
Nitrogen is separated from oxygen before combustion, thereby reducing the volume of exhaust gas and making the exhaust easier to treat by preventing the formation of polluting nitrogen oxides.
The difference between turbocharging and supercharging is simple: a turbocharger boosts engine air pressure by using exhaust gas to power a turbine that pushes more air into the combustion chamber.

These could be among the first full-scale power plants in the nation to turn powdered coal into a synthetic natural gas that is burned in a gas turbine whose exhaust gas powers a steam turbine.
Rather than eliminate nitrogen oxide via a bulky chemical treatment system that even the EPA questioned initially, EGR would make the motor do all the work by piping exhaust gas back into the cylinders and burning it again a cleaner, cheaper, lower-maintenance solution, which would set Navistar ahead of the pack.

If drivers of premium-required cars try to burn regular gas, they could damage their engine due to high exhaust-gas temperatures and knocking.
As on the previous floor, there was an improvised system of metal pipes to remove the exhaust from a gas heater.
Dr Alamaro wants to use a gas-burning, rather than a coal- or oil-burning plant, because the exhaust produced by burning natural gas is free from sulphur dioxide, which plants hate.
Wednesday's Supreme Court argument about whether to regulate carbon dioxide from auto emissions might have made you wonder why we don't just remove the greenhouse gas from auto exhaust the way we do a lot of other pollutants.
Combined-cycle gas turbines, which use hot exhaust gases from one turbine to generate steam to turn a second one, can transform 6, 800 Btu of gas into a kilowatt-hour of electricity, enough to light one lightbulb for ten hours.
It also said emissions could be reduced by making wider use of low carbon fossil fuels like natural gas, and decarbonising exhaust gases from power plants.

Some chemicals showed a possible link to breast cancer, including benzene, 1, 3-butadiene, and ethylene oxide, which are chemicals found in tobacco smoke, gas fumes, and exhaust from cars.

It burns cleaner than regular gas, reducing pollution from exhaust.
In this room was a gas heater that had an improvised exhaust system attached to it made from bits of sheet metal hammered together.
These plants are connected to the exhaust flues of the refinery and also to a nearby gas-fired power station.
The other raw material for photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, will be supplied as the exhaust from industrial plants such as power stations, oil refineries and natural-gas processors.
Burns touts the cars' zero emissions instead of exhaust, they emit water vapor and their reliance on hydrogen made primarily from natural gas, but also from water.
