Australia introduces its first exhaust rule but makes all the mistakes the US did

Baua Electric

This will result in 321 million fewer tons of carbon emissions in Australia by 2050. The numbers are also lower than they would have been in the original proposal, which would have cut 369 million tons of carbon emissions.

Study Finds Fumigation Ethanol Operation with Diesel Reduces PM and NOx, While Oxidation Catalyst Reduces Resulting Increased CO and HC

Green Car Congress

An accompanying significant increase in hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) can be reduced by a diesel oxidation catalyst. liter, naturally-aspirated, in-line four-cylinder direct-injection Isuzu diesel engine. However, there is an increase in NO 2 in the exhaust gas. —Tsang et al.

Comparative study finds that B20 increases emission rates of a number of pollutants in both light- and medium-duty diesel engines at idle

Green Car Congress

Panels show (a) PM 2.5 , (b) elemental carbon (EC), (c) NO x , (d) CO, (e) formaldehyde, and (f) sum of target VOCs. They found that the level of emissions of regulated and unregulated pollutants in diesel exhaust depends on fuel, load, engine calibration, and exhaust aftertreatment technology. Emission rates for the 1.7

U Mich study explores performance of renewable diesel, FT diesel and ULSD in PCCI combustion

Green Car Congress

Its basic operating mechanism is to apply combinations of very early or late injection timing, high injection pressure, low compression ratio, and high exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) levels to achieve a separation between the end of injection and the start of combustion, so that a premixed charge can be achieved before ignition occurs.
