Can Catalysis Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions?

Yes, catalysis can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For example, catalytic converters in automobiles transform toxic pollutants into harmless gases, thereby reducing the emission of harmful substances such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Industrially, catalysts are used in processes like the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis, which has been optimized to reduce energy consumption and lower CO2 emissions.
