The transportation industry has been working for years to cut back on carbon emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles or eliminate them through electrification. Michigan startup Remora has a different solution: capturing emissions emitted by semi-trucks as they are driven. The company developed a retrofitting technology it says captures the carbon dioxide emitted from a truck's exhaust, preventing it from entering the atmosphere. That carbon can then be turned back into diesel use to power the truck via a system powered only by renewable energy, creating a circular solution preventing more CO2 from entering the atmosphere.
