U. Houston-led project looking for new exhaust treatment catalysts for low-temperature lean-burn combustion engines

Green Car Congress

million project to find new catalytic materials that work at lower exhaust temperatures, allowing automakers to build vehicles that operate more efficiently while retaining the ability to clean emissions before they leave the tailpipe. Catalytic converters clean vehicle exhaust into nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide.

U. Mich, Ford team studies effect of ethanol in reducing PM from DISI engines; insights into fueling strategies to reduce soot

Green Car Congress

Further understanding and characterization of the underlying physical and chemical mechanisms of PM formation in DI combustion systems is critical to achieving clean emissions. Lower combustion temperatures and a lower boiling point compared with gasoline result in lower NO x and unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) emissions.
