As per a latest report six nanotechnologies have been highlighted which can help in reducing the levels of carbon emissions. Cientifica, a U.K based company has identified these technologies which are either available or would make a mark in a period of two years. Let me guide you through the list: Aerogels Acting as a substitute for glass they made their mark in 2003 and are developed using nano-sized pockets of air entangled in silica. Used as a substitute for glass, they can also be used for transportation for LNG. Supercapacitator Using physical charge separation between two electrodes for storing charge, they have wide applications and due to the low cost of production of energy could be used for replacement of lead acid batteries. Nanocomposite materials These materials are expected to replace steel in various constructions. Fuel-borne catalysts Awaiting approval in U.S, this technology works by allowing diesel fuel to burn in an efficient manner in an engine which can improve the economy and reduce particle emissions. Let’s see how much these technologies are able to perform and benefit the world
