The two-stroke engine has been favored for small recreational vehicles because of its high power density, low cost and simple, lightweight design, Oh said. This is due to raw, externally premixed fresh charge comprising air, fuel and lube oil being short-circuited into the exhaust during the scavenging process.

The results, published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials , may bring cleaner, cheaper raw materials to diverse manufacturers. With the prices of natural gas and oil dropping, renewable fuels can’t compete with fossil fuels, so biorefineries are exploring options for developing other economically viable products.

Other policies, such as a tax on the carbon content of fossil fuels, could focus on low-cost reductions in emissions outside the transportation sector. They should also be benchmarked to maintain their lead- ing edge, and states should move away from fuel taxes and toward carbon pricing to compensate governments for their lost revenue.
