Study finds catalyzed gasoline particulate filters effective at reducing particulate and PAH emissions from GDI engines

Green Car Congress

FEBRUARY 22, 2018

The researchers assessed the gaseous, particulate, and genotoxic pollutants from two current technology gasoline direct injection vehicles when tested in their original configuration and with a catalyzed gasoline particulate filter (GPF). In the study, the team used two MY 2016 passenger cars. —Yang et al.

Engines running on liquid air (or liquid nitrogen, which is already widely available) are zero emissions at the point of use, and can be zero carbon depending on the source of electricity used to make it. We aspire to offer systems which are not only cleaner, but that are also cheaper and perform better than polluting diesel alternatives.

The upside of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines is widely seen as being improved fuel economy coupled with an increase in specific power (especially with turbocharging), enabling significant downsizing. As such, it is recommended that these metrics be revisited when more data is available from engines with advanced injection strategies.

AUGUST 1, 2016

Groundbreaking research in the last 10 years has identified combustion engine strategies that—especially if optimized to run on new fuels—would offer significantly higher efficiency and produce fewer engine-out pollutants than current engines. Fuel research will focus on low-GHG advanced biofuel/petroleum blends.

In August 2016, DOE announced funding of up to $7 million further to support the initiative. Thrust 1 builds on the significant amount of work carried out over the past several decades, focused on building advanced boosted, downsized, and downspeeded spark ignition engines. High dilution may also lead to controllability challenges.

Beginning in 2016, NHTSA and EPA will coordinate a mid-term review that must be finalized by April 2018. By the end of the next decade, because of the standards and other regulations, new vehicles will be more fuel-efficient, lighter, less polluting, safer, and more expensive to purchase compared with current vehicles.

Gasoline/diesel fueling stations to replenish the liquid fuel for these engines are readily available. Appropriately using the slow-charging option available to all PHEVs, we can greatly increase the UF of the grid. This is the maximum amount of power available to power everything in the house simultaneously.
