Ozone Layer and Air Pollution
28 November 2009 | Green News | 3 Comments
Ozone is concentrated in the stratosphere at an altitude of 15-35 km. It is formed of O2 molecules passing through a photo-dissociation process. In the stratosphere, there is a balance between ozone formation and decomposition processes. Usually this balance is broken by a substance called ChloroFloroMethane coming from aerosols and cooling systems.
Audi Efficiency Challenge – Low Emissions, Low Fuel Consumption
17 October 2009 | Green Cars | No Comments
Audi recently announced that they want to make an experiment to show once again the efficiency of their models over a distance of 4182 kilometers. The purpose of these experiments is to show that Audi products (Audi cars) are most effective if we talk about emissions and fuel consumption. This experiment is called “Audi Efficiency Challenge from A to B“, and will be presented to a group of 120 journalists, to show them that CO2 emissions and fuel consumption can achieve an ideal rate on 4182 km distance.
Racing goes environmentally friendly

Racing doesn’t always have to be about the first car to reach the finish line. In an attempt to promote more green and fuel-efficient technologies, some auto races today prize those cars that have the best results in the “green” department. It means that more and more races will also be judged after the energy efficiency or greenhouse-gas emissions of the racing cars.
The Green Racing Initiave is a group that deals just with that: using the motor sport competitions (because of it’s rapid change in high-tech technologies using) to haste the development of more efficient and cleaner vehicles to latter be used in the public domain. First founded in 2006, they marked their first success at the American Le Mans Series, in October 2008.
