To save the climate, it is undoubtedly first and foremost important to reduce the stock of pollutants and carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. Researchers are now developing a CO2-negative battery that will enable electric cars to clean the air.
Electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell cars are not safe enough to be carried, they say. The Norwegian shipping company now wants to ban them from its ferries.
Instead of supporting transport electrification, the US state wants to ban electric cars. Once again, the future of the country is to depend on conventional internal combustion engines - to go along with the economic policy plans of the Republicans.

Bio-fuels, e-fuels, electric - With so many petrol and diesel vehicles on the road for years after the end of combustion, the possibility of converting away from fossil fuels is essential. But there is no single clear path to do so.
In Europe, a change in transport almost always means electromobility. But now an approach is coming out of Brazil that is supposed to power vehicles with ethanol. An unusual technology that, with the support of major car companies, could become a solid solution for a more environmentally friendly transport world.
Due to increased levels of pollutants in the air, the Indian capital is stepping up countermeasures to counteract the enormous smog pollution. However, it is not expected that these measures will lead to a long-term improvement in air quality.
