Researchers at Environment Canada have found that vehicle exhaust is a significant source of isocyanic acid (HNCO), a toxic gaseous acid that is a product of various forms of combustion and a potential health concern. Automobile exhaust is also a known source of inorganic acids such as nitric (HNO 3 ) and nitrous (HONO) acids.

The new options would reduce some economic and procedural impediments to clean alternative fuel conversions while maintaining environmental safeguards to ensure that acceptable emission levels from converted vehicles are sustained. EPA expects the streamlined approach to result in a cost savings for many converters. Vehicle/Engine Age.

The ICCT team only examined technical barriers to the consumption of blends of ethanol above 10%: the effect of higher ethanol blends on passenger vehicles and smaller engines and the impact on infrastructure. In this situation, there is not enough fuel evaporation to cool the mixture, and the temperature of the exhaust gas rises.

The reformer converts hydrocarbons into hydrogen, CO 2 and heat. Due to the unit’s high efficiency, CO 2 emissions are substantially lower than in conventional combustion engines, and no other demonstrable exhaust is discharged—i.e., 2001) Solid acids as fuel cell electrolytes.
