Researchers Say Mix of Policies and Current or Near-Term Technologies Could Phase Out US CO2 Emissions from Coal-Fired Power Plants by 2030

Green Car Congress

Oil and gas are such convenient fuels, and the world has developed such a strong dependence on them, that it is very likely that the large readily available pools of these fuels will be exploited. A first step is to remove fossil fuel subsidies. Kharecha et al. Kharecha, Charles F. Kutscher, James E.

POSTECH, Hyundai team develops new more thermally robust catalyst for NOx reduction with diesel engines

Green Car Congress

NO x is extremely difficult to reduce under an oxygen-rich environment. This prohibits closer placement of the catalyst to the engine, requiring an aggressive warm-up with extra fuel burning during the cold-start. 200 ˚C) of urea into NH 3 and by SCR catalyst deactivation at temperatures higher than 750 ˚C.
