Can Nanotechnology Help in Reducing Carbon Emissions?
Yes, nanotechnology can significantly reduce carbon emissions through various mechanisms:
1. Efficient Fuel Combustion: Nanocatalysts optimize fuel combustion, reducing emissions from engines. 2. Carbon Capture: Nanomaterials can be used in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies to trap and store CO2 from industrial emissions. 3. Energy Efficiency: Nanoscale materials improve the thermal insulation properties of buildings, reducing the energy required for heating and cooling.
