SwRI engineers help develop post-refinery diesel treatment that overcomes soot/NOx tradeoff for cleaner burning fuel

Green Car Congress

Internal combustion engines, when burning a fuel-air mixture, produce harmful pollutants such as soot and NO x. Although engine manufacturers routinely develop cleaner engines for new vehicles, older model vehicles continue to contribute heavily to pollution levels.
