Carbon offsets alone won’t make flying climate-friendly

Grist

So as the aviation industry has gradually climbed aboard global pledges to get rid of carbon emissions, it has mostly promised to make up for its damage elsewhere — through offsets that might involve planting trees, restoring wetlands, or paying people to preserve ecosystems that otherwise would have been razed. And, oh yeah: less flying.

Measuring NOx in combustion

Envirotec Magazine

Instrumentation firm Signal Group takes a closer look at NOx measurement and the selection of an appropriate technology. The chemiluminescence reaction of ozone and nitric oxide causes the oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which generates photons that are measured using a photomultiplier tube. Ozonator design.
