Save Earth, Save Life
The methods that I have used to solve the problems of pollution and global warming are:-
1. Building a system inside vehicles that can capture the vehicle exhaust containing greenhouse gases and not letting out these gases in the environment.
2. Use of Magnifying glass to produce high temperature in presence of sunlight and thus heating water, making steam, running turbine and producing electricity.
3.Synthesis of Adenosine triphosphate in large quantity and doing hydrolysis of it and thus making high amount of energy.
4.Pyrolysis of cellulose to produce important fuels.
5.Making water by use of carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
My solution can change the polluted environment into healthy environment.
I am solving the problem of pollution and global warming.
I have a method that how to reduce greenhouse gases like reducing CO2 emissions. Finding new renewable sources of energy.
1. Removing greenhouse gases from vehicle exhaust:-
In this,we will make a system which will be fitted inside every vehicle. Inside this system, first, the separation of the vehicle exhaust containing major greenhouse gases like CO2, CO, NOx, SO2 takes place. The separation of these gases will be done by doing ionization of these gases. We know the ionization potential of these gases, NO2:-9.586 eV, SO2:-12.349 eV, CO2:-13.77 eV, CO:-14.013eV. First, we provide 9.586 eV so that NO2 is ionized. Now, there will be one cathode where no2+ ion will be deposited. After that we will provide 12.349 eV so that SO2 is ionized and gets deposited on another cathode. Similarly, we will do with CO2 and CO. Thus, all gases are separated in this manner. Now, second step will be the removal of these gases which is also done inside this system.
For CO2 removal:-
CO2+4H2------------>CH4+2H2O
For, CO removal:-
CO+H2--------------->CH3OH
Hydrogen for above reaction will come by doing electrolysis of water. Thus, H2 will be used and oxygen will be given out in atmosphere. The above reactions require temperature of 600°C and 400°C. So, first we have to provide energy and after that product formed like CH4 and CH3OH will be used here as a fuel to provide energy for above reactions.For NO2 and SO2 removal, there will be a place in the city where these gases are disposed off safely. At that place, these gases like NO2 and SO2 will be converted into important fuels.
We will made this system and this system will be fitted inside every vehicle. Thus the vehicle exhaust containing greenhouse gases will not come out of the vehicle and thus the pollution will be reduced. CO2 emissions will be reduced which is a major factor of climate change.
2.Magnifying glass:- We can generate a very high temperature by use of very big magnifying glass by placing it in sunlight. We can heat up water, making steam, and running turbine and thus producing electricity through this technique.
3.ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE:-We know that ATP hydrolysis produces 7.3kcal/mol of energy. So, we will do synthesis of ATP in large quantities and thus doing hydrolysis of it and producing high amount of energy. We also know that synthesis of ATP require energy. But, we will synthesize ATP in the presence of sunlight by use of magnifying glass that can produce high temperature for ATP synthesis. Thus, this is a renewable source of energy.
4.Pyrolysis of Cellulose:- We know that pyrolysis of cellulose yield important compounds like H2, CH4, CO, CO2, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8, C4H8, CH3COOH and many more. Cellulose is found in almost every organic compound like cotton, wheat and rice husks, navy beans, seeds, sunflower and many more. Wheat husks and rice husks are in large quantities at farming areas. Many things like fruits, vegetables, seeds and many more are collected in huge quantities in the cities as organic waste. Hence, if we collect these things containing cellulose and doing pyrolysis of cellulose then we will obtain important fuels. The energy source used in doing pyrolysis of cellulose will be big magnifying glass placed in sunlight that can produce high temperature suitable for pyrolysis of cellulose. This is a renewable source of energy.
5.Water scarcity problem:- We can make water by use of CO2 and hydrogen. There are many places in the world that live in shortage of water.
CO2+4H2---------> CH4+2H2O
We can further break CH4 to obtain hydrogen.
My solution is based on how to control greenhouse gases and pollution. So, this solution will help all the living organisms.

The problem of pollution and global warming is faced by every people and living organisms. Climate change is result of global warming. If we are not able to control global warming and pollution then the lives of all living organisms are in danger. Very few people in the world are aware. They are not aware of the result of pollution and global warming.
So, I have designed a system that can control pollution and global warming.
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model.
I have been working on this project for 2 months.Currently, we are making this project. We are trying to make this project more better.I am a student of 12 standard. I have a team of 4 members. We are all students. My team members are also in 12 standard.We are very aware about the results of pollution and global warming. We create and innovate new things that can help our society and people. So, when we heard about MIT Solve challenges then we decided to submit the solution on Resilient ecosystem so that we can do something to save our earth.
My solution is just based on how to save the Environment. If our Earth is pollution free then our future generations will be living in healthy environment. In today's world, all people use vehicles powered by fossil fuels. So, these are the major contributors in air pollution as burning of fossil fuels creates greenhouse gases. CO2 emissions are increasing day by day and temperature is also increasing. So, my solution gives an innovative approach on how to remove greenhouse gases from vehicle exhaust. I have also given solution of new renewable sources of energy.
The overall outcome of my solution is that we can create a pollution free and healthy environment.
