Chakr Innovation develops solutions that make the energy production more sustainable and environment friendly. We are a team of engineers and innovators from IIT Delhi. Our first product deals with the problem of unrestrained emissions from diesel engine generators. Even among these emissions, soot (Carbonaceous nano-sized matter) especially poses tremendous risk to public health due it's carcinogenic nature. Additionally, this particulate matter is so small that it can easily enter the lungs and bloodstream and have been linked to a wide range of serious health effects, including premature death, heart attacks and strokes; bronchitis and aggravated asthma among children. It is a matter of great concern, for India in particular, where air pollution is the fourth largest cause of deaths. Our device is coupled with the exhaust and absorbs over 80% of the particulate matter that is being emitted by the diesel engine.
