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.

SwRI and USTA researchers to develop a novel catalyst for low-temperature SCR

Green Car Congress

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) announced funding for a new joint research projects to advance clean emission technologies. Future fuel economy standards will result in lower exhaust gas temperatures and limit the use of high-temperature SCR.

Mazda introduces HAZUMI concept along with new 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-D diesel

Green Car Congress

The result is cleaner combustion with low NO x and soot emissions. To realize ideal combustion timing and duration as well as clean emissions at the same time, Mazda uses this premixed compression ignition combustion by controlling ignition timing based on model-based prediction of ignition delay in the low compression ratio engine.
