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

Green Car Congress

JUNE 24, 2014

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. One of the main groups of pollutants resulting from fuel combustion is the oxides of nitrogen, or NO x.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2017

A chemical engineer from the University of Houston is leading a $2.1-million 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.

Green Car Congress

APRIL 26, 2015

A team from the University of Michigan and Ford’s Research and Advanced Engineering group in Dearborn has studied the effects of ethanol on reducing particulate emissions from a direct injection spark ignition (DISI) engine by comparing neat anhydrous ethanol with a baseline fuel of reference grade gasoline (indolene).
