Our concern arose from the use of fossil fuels. As Buenos Aires is a city heavily frequented by vehicles, we wondered about the extent of their pollution. Upon investigating, we were struck by how much vehicles contribute to pollution.
We looked into what kind of actions were being taken in the city to mitigate CO2 emissions. We concluded that, despite several planned measures, individual cars were not being considered, nor was the regulation of the greenhouse gases they emit.
Below, I am attaching a document that demonstrates the research we have been conducting.
Combustibles Fósiles by Ignacio Delgener
We propose a prototype that detects CO2 emissions from exhausts and triggers an alarm to alert drivers about excessive fuel burning. This prototype not only monitors and alerts about CO2 emissions but also serves as a visual and auditory reminder, promoting more ecological and responsible driving behaviors. The decision was made to focus on Buenos Aires to facilitate development and increase the possibility of applying the prototype more effectively in a local context.
