Abstract
In the recent years, due to the rapid escalation in the vehicle population and deforestation, the CO2 level in the atmospheric has been increased drastically. Since CO2 is formed due to complete combustion of fuel, which is desirable for getting more millage, the abnormally increased CO2 level causes climate change problems. To mitigate the CO2 level in the atmosphere, different approaches like absorption, adsorption and membrane separation can be adopted in the automobile sector. This chapter provides the information about the CO2 emissions worldwide and nationwide. The experimental results show that the phase change fluids like amine solutions have better absorption characteristics up to 90%, as compared with activated carbon and zeolites. The regeneration of amines after absorption is, however, a big challenge, especially when it is used in vehicles. Possible technologies to alleviate the CO2 emission from the automotive sector are also discussed.
