This Perspective discusses target parameters for the electroreduction of CO2, based on its comparison with water splitting, which is to become a practical alternative for energy storage into fuels and chemicals.


Continuous emissions of green house gases like carbon dioxide by industries and automobiles in atmosphere is increasing day by day and if not checked and regulated may bring disasters to human life. The existence and continuation of human life will be at risk. All technocrats, engineers and environmentalists have to work together for designing engineering systems and especially automobiles for combustion of fuels especially biodiesel which reduces emission of green house gases. Also there is a requirement of biodiesels to be renewable and obtained from biomass. The methyl ester produced from algae is used as a source of energy and is tested for its suitability in a variable compression ratio diesel engine (VCR). Blend B20 is added with 10% diethyl ether and tested for its combustion and emission characteristics with 200 micron zirconia coated piston. Improvement in performance is observed in comparison to the characteristics obtained with only coated piston and without additive.

Carbondioxyde emission is kind of green house gases that has highest concentration in he atmosphere than the ohers green house gases. The aim of this research is that analyzing influence of industry sector, mining sector, and transportation sector avtivities to the environment quality base on the carbondioxyde emission in Indonesia. This analysis used regression model with Ordinary Least Square method (OLS). Result of analysis indicate that Gross Domestic Product  (GDP) of industry sector has negative and significant  influence to carbondioxyde emission in Indonesia, with  significant value at 0.00,  Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of mining sector has positive and significant influence to carbondioxyde emission in Indonesia with significant value at 0.00 and Gross Domestic Product  (GDP) of transportation sector has positive and significant influence to Economic Growth in Indonesia, with significant value at 0.00. Then, Gross Domestic Product  (GDP) of industry sector, mining sector and transportation sector have significantly influence to Economic growth in Indonesia with significant value at 0.00 based on with the theory Environmental Kuznet Curve (EKC).
