Amminex City-SCR upgrade delivers gaseous ammonia for improved SCR conversion of NOx; avoiding high off-cycle emissions

Green Car Congress

The Amminex Ammonia Storage and Delivery System, in combination with the SCR-catalyst, delivers significant reductions in emissions under all real-life driving conditions. The technical reason for these high “off-cycle” NO x emissions is poor NO x conversion efficiency of installed SCR systems when exhaust temperature is low.

MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective

Green Car Congress

The transportation sector was responsible for over 7 million tons of NO x emissions in the US in 2014, with 50% of this sector’s NO x attributed to heavy-duty on- and off-road vehicles and equipment. CO 2 and NO x certification test data for heavy-duty diesel engines certified from 2002 through 2019. Source of data: US EPA (2019).
