Researchers at the River Road Environmental Technology Centre annually carry out about 1, 500 different types of motor vehicle tests by "driving" test cars on a chassis dynamometer. The data obtained gives Environment Canada an idea of the kinds and amounts of emissions being generated by Canada's 13 million automobiles. The dynamometer, a treadmill-like device which, in conjunction with sampling equipment and extremely accurate gas analyses, allows computers to tally a vehicle's emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and NOx under simulated driving conditions. Automotive manufacturers use similar equipment to certify vehicles before they are mass-produced; the tests serve as spot checks to monitor actual emissions. 2, record 1, English, - chassis%20dynamometer

Welcome to the Clean Coal Technology Roadmap Website. Rationale : Technological advances are the key to Canada finding environmental solutions toward reducing greenhouse gases and other deleterious pollutant emissions from the use of coal. We must continue to harness the energy from our enormous coal deposits. Canada has over eight billion tonnes of proven coal reserves, storing more energy than all of our oil, natural gas and oil sands combined. Our Mission : Looking into the future, identify technology pathways needed to allow coal to be used as a competitive environmentally clean energy resource for the production of electricity. 1, record 5, English, - clean%20coal%20technology%20roadmap

Bienvenue au site Web sur les Cartes routières technologiques du charbon écologique. Justification : Les progrès accomplis en matière de technologie sont des éléments clés pour permettre au Canada de trouver des façons environnementales de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et des autres gaz délétères qui proviennent de la combustion du charbon. Il nous faut continuer à exploiter l'énergie produite à partir de nos immenses réserves de charbon. Le Canada dispose de plus de huit milliards de tonnes de gisements houillers prouvés, lesquels contiennent davantage d'énergie que toutes nos réserves de pétrole, de gaz naturel et de sables bitumineux réunies. Notre mission : En se tournant vers l'avenir, il s'agit de déterminer les voies technologiques indispensables afin de pouvoir utiliser le charbon en tant que ressource énergétique concurrentielle et respectueuse de l'environnement pour la production de l'électricité. 1, record 5, French, - carte%20routi%C3%A8re%20technologique%20du%20charbon%20%C3%A9cologique
