Plastic to Fuel

A team developed a chemical conversion that can convert polyolefin plastic into polymers, monomers, naphtha, and fuel. They're trying to produce high quality gas and diesel fuel from this process. With the amount of polyolefin waste produced each year can cover 4% of the worlds gas or diesel fuel usage.

I think this can be very useful because of all the plastic waste in our oceans. It'll help reduce the pollution in the oceans and it'll create a clean fuel we can use at the same time.

    This is a very innovative reuse of our plastic waste products. It is extremely beneficial to turn something that we have a surplus of into something that we have a deficit of. It is important for us to continually strive towards cleaner fuel in order to halt the production of emissions from other sources of fuel.

    This is a very smart way to try and reduce our waste. Also a great way to keep it out of our oceans. Great for the environment.

    Cool! This is so amazing, I know it is a stretch but I hope one day this is going to be the "norm". This is a win win for everyone!

    Wow cool beans dog! I hope they get that started, it will probably help the environment and stuff. People should be looking into other waste materials to see if we can make more fuel.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
