Abstract

This paper deals with the exhaust emissions emitted by the Diesel buses of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation and suggestions to reduce the emission levels by the use of an alternative clean fuel CNG. The pollution loads have been calculated and compared by considering usage of the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in place of conventional diesel buses. In this study, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation was considered and collected the required information such as the total number of buses, daily kilometres operated by the KSRTC buses. These buses run on diesel fuel and are responsible for largest amount of lead emissions and various other pollutants. The pollution loads calculated on the basis of information collected from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Environment Protection Agency and previous studies carried out in this regard by various important agencies. The use of CNG shows tremendous reduction in various pollutants in gm/km. By the use of CNG we can find 84% reduction in CO, 58% reduction in NOx and 97% reduction in PM.

卡纳塔克邦国家公路运输公司柴油和CNG燃料客车废气排放比较研究

本文分析了卡纳塔克邦国家道路运输公司柴油公交车的废气排放，并提出了使用替代清洁燃料CNG来降低排放水平的建议。通过考虑使用压缩天然气(CNG)代替传统柴油公交车，计算和比较了污染负荷。在本研究中，卡纳塔克邦国家道路运输公司被考虑并收集了所需的信息，如公共汽车总数，KSRTC公共汽车运营的每日公里数。这些公共汽车以柴油为燃料，是铅排放和各种其他污染物的最大来源。污染负荷是根据从中央污染控制委员会(CPCB)、环境保护署收集的信息以及各重要机构此前在这方面进行的研究计算得出的。CNG的使用显示出以gm/km为单位的各种污染物的大幅减少。通过使用CNG，我们可以发现CO减少84%，NOx减少58%，PM减少97%。
