The challenges of clean air local, regional and global: a possible solution

摘要

Since 1950, as the vehicle population around the world has exploded, a great deal has been learned about the implications for the local, regional and global environment. Substantial effort has been focused on addressing the local and regional problems with some success but continued growth has offset some of these gains. In recent years, global pollution concerns have increased and the motor vehicle contribution has been found to be increasingly important. Clearly there is a need to develop common solutions - strategies that will address all three problems simultaneously. The purpose of this paper is to explore certain approaches with a focus on fuel cell technology as a case study.
