Emission-Free Cars Coming Soon in Reality

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new strategy to capture, store and finally recycle Carbon from vehicles, could lead to zero-emission cars in future.

This new strategy prevents the harmful pollutants ‘carbon’ from finding its way from a car tailpipe into the atmosphere.

Approximately, 2/3 of global carbon emissions are produced by smaller polluters such as Automobiles, Distributed Industry power generation application and Transportation vehicles.

The goal of Georgia Tech team is to produce a sustainable transportation system that uses liquid fuel and traps the carbon emission in the vehicle for later processing at a fuel station.
Presently, the Georgia team is working on a fuel processing device which will separate the carbon and store it in vehicle in the form of liquid.

Presently, we have an unsustainable carbon-based economy with several severe limitations, including a limited supply of fossil fuels, high cost and carbon dioxide pollution.

- Andrei Fedorov (Associate professor in the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech and a lead researcher on the project) said.

He further added:

We wanted to create a practical and sustainable energy strategy for automobiles that could solve each of those limitations, eventually using renewable energy sources and in an environmentally conscious way.
