Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

For example, demand will often increase when is it raining or peak during half time of a national televised sporting event. Equally, any technology currently available, for burning these renewable fuels, uses a flame during the combustion process, producing the pollutant emissions that are harmful to human health.

Small-displacement two-stroke H2 engine could address performance and emissions cost-effectively for recreational market; potential for Asian motor vehicle fleet

Green Car Congress

It, or a scaled-up version, could also provide a solution for the Asian motor vehicle fleet, in which two-stroke engine vehicles constitute a major share—and contribute significantly to air pollution. As a result, Oh and Plante abandoned these approaches and focused on a cost-effective direct-injection system. kW) rating.

High Performance Computing key enabler for accelerating development of high efficiency engines

Green Car Congress

Low emission, low temperature engine concepts of the future operate in regimes where combustion is poorly understood. In an effort to reliably predict efficiency and pollutant emissions for new engines and fuels, computer simulations are used to study fundamental turbulence-chemistry interactions.
