Nova Institute of Technology Introduces Breakthrough CO2 Device for Eradicating All Vehicle Exhaust Fumes

David G. Yurth, principal inventor and co-founder of Nova Institute of Technology, a privately-owned research and development group located in Salt Lake City, Utah, announced today the successful testing of The Corona Discharge Gas Plasma Disassociation System™ (CDGPDS™), a compact, lightweight, low-cost energy efficient device that eradicates all exhaust fumes produced by internal combustion engines before they leave the tailpipe.

Researchers Test Algae-based Biomass at Chevron Oil Refinery in Hawaii for Producing Bioenergy

At a Chevron oil refinery in Hawaii, researchers are growing microalgae in a 5,000-liter photobioreactor, flowing wastewater from the refinery through the reactor, and taking advantage of the algae's appetite for chemical nutrients to polish the water, removing noxious chemicals, including 90% of the ammonia-nitrogen and 97% of the phosphorus.

Study Reveals Measures that Could be Implemented to Improve Air Quality and Fight Climate Change

Ozone, methane and aerosols (tiny pollutant particles) remain in the atmosphere for a shorter time than CO2, but can affect both the climate and air quality. Yet environmental policies tend to separate the two issues, with measures that fight air pollution not always bringing climate benefits and vice-versa.
