New mixed-oxide catalysts shown as viable substitute for platinum catalysts for diesel exhaust aftertreatment

Green Car Congress

Under laboratory-simulated diesel exhaust conditions, this mixed-phase oxide material was superior to Pt in terms of cost, thermal durability, and catalytic activity for NO oxidation. Nanostellar was founded in California in 2004 by scientists from Stanford University and NASA Ames Research Center. CO 2 + 2NO, NO 2 + C?CO

The WDG also can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 95 percent in comparison to modern internal combustion vehicle engines. In axial-flow configurations, noted Müller and co-authors in a 2004 paper, pure scavenging is a challenging task. The fuel supplies (green) are located at the inner inlet port. Norbert Müller.

Norway-US Project Developing Diesel/Biodiesel, Cool Flame Reformer and Solid-Acid Fuel Cell APU

Green Car Congress

The power supply unit can run on biodiesel as well as regular diesel. 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., diesel particulates, black carbon soot, NO x and carbon monoxide (CO) are eliminated.

Toshiba To Begin Mass-Producing Portable Direct Methanol Fuel Cells in 2009

Green Car Congress

A DMFC generates electricity in the following manner: A methanol solution is added to the anode side of the cell; The methanol solution separates into protons (H + ) and electrons (e - ), along with carbon dioxide (CO 2 ); The electrons (e - ) are guided out of the fuel cell, forming an electric current.

Manchester team proposing graphene-based ballistic rectifier for waste heat recovery

Green Car Congress

Rectifying diodes let electrical current flow in only one direction; mainly used for power supply operation, they convert AC to DC current. Graphene was the world’s first two-dimensional material, isolated in 2004 at The University of Manchester; since then a whole family of other 2D materials have been discovered. —Song et al.

Scania Delivering 85 Ethanol Buses to Stockholm Suburbs; E95 in a Diesel Engine

Green Car Congress

The order from Busslink is Scania Sverige’s largest single bus transaction in the Swedish market since 2004. The third-generation ethanol engine is an adaptation of Scania’s 9-liter diesel engine with charge-cooling and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Scania’s third-generation CI ethanol engine.
