Perhaps that’s not a scientifically accurate description, but it’s close enough for blogging purposes.
The new Mazda CX-7 4WD uses a special liquid similar to human urine to reduce emissions. The special compound, which goes by the name AdBlue, is 1/3 urea and 2/3 demineralized water.
The technology, which is common in Europe and Australia’s trucking industry, is called selective catalyst reduction. Without getting over our heads in scientific jargon, it injects AdBlue into the car’s exhaust system and renders NOx emissions harmless.
According to The Age Australia, “Regulatory authorities in Europe and the United States are planning to introduce strict new limits on diesel emissions in the future, which will eventually make the urea-based systems mandatory equipment on all cars.”
We’re not that impressed with a car that runs on pee. We’d be a lot more excited if they could develop a car that runs on bullshit.
Hell, in that case Al Gore could put OPEC out of business all by himself.
