IIT alumni's startup turns diesel soot into inks and paints
Chakr Innovation, a startup founded by three IIT alumni, has invented a device which can capture carbon soot from diesel emissions and convert it to inks and paints. The device, when fitted on diesel generators, can capture about 90% of particulate matter emission. The startup has installed over 30 shields across Delhi-NCR, capturing 300 kg particulate matter in a year.
