SwRI engineers help develop post-refinery diesel treatment that overcomes soot/NOx tradeoff for cleaner burning fuel

Green Car Congress

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is helping a client develop a simple post-refinery treatment process that reduces exhaust emissions from diesel engines by overcoming the soot/nitrogen oxides (NO x ) reduction trade-off that has plagued engine researchers for decades.

Volkswagen continues to optimize its EA888 workhorse engine; fourth evolution in 2022 Golf GTI and R

Green Car Congress

Known internally and to Volkswagen enthusiasts as the “Evo4,” its two most difficult roles might be under the hood of the 2022 Golf GTI and R. A further benefit the systems offer is the ability to use longer final drive ratios in the transmission, effectively downspeeding the engine, which can positively affect fuel economy.

UBC researchers find life-cycle GHG benefits of LNG in marine shipping only from high-pressure dual-fuel engines in ocean-going vessels

Green Car Congress

A life-cycle assessment of emissions from domestic and imported liquefied natural gas (LNG), and heavy-fuel oil (HFO) for marine shipping by a team from the University of British Columbia has found that only high-pressure dual-fuel (HPDF) engines robustly reduce well-to-wake GHG emissions by 10% compared with their HFO-fueled counterparts.

U Delaware team develops prototype efficient direct ammonia fuel cell for transportation

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Delaware has demonstrated a direct ammonia fuel cell (DAFC) prototype with a peak power density of 135 mW cm -2 at 80 ?C. Together, these applications leave a substantial fraction of transportation energy usage dependent on chemical fuels. A paper on the work is published in the journal Joule. Zhao et al.
