Clemson research developing integrated modeling and control systems to reduce particulates from GDI engines

Green Car Congress

Onori notes that an integrated approach to reduce gasoline particulates is necessary because engine operating conditions determine oxygen and fuel content and temperature of the exhaust gas, which influence the output of the catalytic converter, which in turn governs soot accumulation and oxidation in particulate filters.

Germany launches new study of oxymethylene ethers for optimizing clean diesel combustion

Green Car Congress

Further development of diesel and gasoline fuels now offers the chance of preventing the formation of hazardous exhaust gases directly at their origin, i.e. during combustion in the engine. The objective is to demonstrate a highly simplified exhaust gas treatment process without particulate filters and catalytic treatment. 2015.07.479.
