Ciao e bemvenuti! Sadly, this is the last ever passion blog, and I am certainly going to miss sharing some tidbits of my cultural story. I decided to wrap it up by telling the story of an iconic race that occurred in Sicily up until nearly the 1980s. The Targa Florio, as it was called, […]

Currently, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles emit large concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere and account for a sizable proportion of annual emissions. At the forefront of GHG mitigation strategies is […]
