emission of the vehicles which contains harmful gases namely Sulphur dioxide, the oxides of Nitrogen, Carbon monoxide which are the main cause for the global warming. The concept deals with removal of the harmful gases which are emittedfrom thevehicles, locomotives etc. with the equipment involving combination of catalytic converter and limestone scrubber. This unique instrument eliminates the above described gases and leaves only carbon dioxide which can be later removed by charcoal coating or the carbondioxide will be absorbed by the plants by reducing the pollution by 99%.
Keywords—Catalytic Converter, Limestone Scrubber. INTRODUCTION This project is designed in such a way that it would be installed in almost all fueled locomotives. As the deforestation has dominated nowadays, even carbon dioxide has also become a big problem, due to which itsincrease has caused the mark for the global warming. The harmful emissions from engines of locomotives, metal industries (producing toxin gas due to smeltingprocess).Coming to the locomotive, it’s diesel emissionsare associated with an increase of lung cancer and other cardiovascular disease which leads to serious trauma.

Fig.1 Composition of Atmosphere The other contribution to a pollutant emission from the internal combustion engine are sources usually are in small concentration but in some cases it has materials having high toxicity. Metals and other compounds from engine wear or components emitted from the emission control catalysts are causes for some additional emissions. Sometimes catalysts facilitate to the formation of new products which are usually not found in engine exhausts when they are introduced to the combustion chamber. The quality of fuels being low for example the residual fuels used in large marine engines with heavy metals and other compounds lead to adverse health and an environmental effects some of the pollutants are:
This equipment contains majorly two parts, the catalytic converter and the limestone scrubber. Catalytic converteris mainly used to convert the toxic gases into non harmfulgases. Limestone Scrubber is used to eliminate sulphur dioxide.
SURVEY One of the most energy efficient transportation mode is via rails. It is responsible for almost 9% of the global motorized movement of passengers and 7% of freight butonly 3% of transportation energy is used. From the transportation sector the contribution of diesel emissions has increase 3.5 times since 1990 and is almost 250 million tons of CO2 or equal to 13.5% of emissions in 2013.Adverse health and environmental effects are caused due to the pollutants present in diesel emission. These pollutants are originated due to various non-ideal processes during combustion of the fuel such as incomplete combustion and certain reaction between mixture components under extreme temperature

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5): Respiratory diseases, i.e., asthma and chronic bronchitis which are associated with cardiac arrhythmias, heart attacks and premature deaths are caused due to these particulate matter. The highest risk is for elderly and children with heart and lungs diseases when exposed to particulate pollution.
