Jayanta Kapat of UCF is responsible for data analysis on the NOX Tracker, a collaboration with Mitsubishi Power that tracks nitrogen oxide emissions and encourages transparency in the U.S. power generation industry. Nitrogen oxide is a pollutant, and reducing these emissions will help advance decarbonization.

“We need to make sure as we advance that we do so responsibly. There has been concern that as the power generation industry decarbonizes, nitrogen oxides would become a problem; however, the tracker shows that nitrogen oxides have been declining significantly to low levels,” said Kapat.
