New process uses localized surface plasmons for room-temperature conversion of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their colleagues have demonstrated a room-temperature method that could significantly reduce carbon dioxide levels in fossil-fuel power plant exhaust, one of the main sources of carbon emissions in the atmosphere.

IAV develops new close-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment system for improved emissions reduction

Green Car Congress

IAV has developed a particularly closed-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment (EAT) system. A key contribution to this performance must come from the exhaust gas aftertreatment system—across the entire speed and load range. This way, exhaust gas flows through DOC and SCRF before it enters the turbine.

Volkswagen 2.0 TDI diesel for Euro 6d; SCR twin-dosing

Green Car Congress

With SCR twin dosing technology in the exhaust gas system, the diesel unit now undercuts the Euro 6d emission standard limits while also running quietly and smoothly, according to the company. Volkswagen developed twin dosing technology for the exhaust gas treatment. Volkswagen 2.0 TDI diesel for Euro 6d; SCR twin-dosing.

EPFL team develops on-board system to capture CO2 from trucks; reducing emissions by 90%

Green Car Congress

Researchers at EPFL have patented a new concept that could cut trucks’ CO 2 emissions by almost 90%. The EPFL system captures CO 2 directly in the trucks’ exhaust system and liquefies it in a box on the vehicle’s roof. The patented concept is the subject of an open-access paper published in Frontiers in Energy Research.

Converted hydrogen fuel cell refuse vehicle on trial in Ruhr region as part of HECTOR

Green Car Congress

Before the demo vehicle—a DAF CF 340 front loader with a Millennium XXL 40 body from Terberg HS—could be used to collect commercial waste, a conversion from standard diesel propulsion to hydrogen was required. Almost the entire original powertrain—engine, fuel tanks and exhaust system—was removed from the DAF truck.

MAN ES and research partners to develop methanol retrofit solutions for medium-speed marine engines; CliNeR-ECo

Green Car Congress

CliNeR-ECo aims to develop concepts for diverse, medium-speed, marine engines that will enable the retrofitting of entire ship fleets at reasonable economic and technical costs. In addition, the project will evaluate the suitability of the methanol retrofit concept for other fuels (Ammonia-NH 3 , Liquefied Natural Gas-LNG).
