Chalmers study finds ship exhaust gas scrubbers responsible for up to 9% of certain hazardous emissions into Baltic Sea

Green Car Congress

New research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, finds that the discharge water from ships’ exhaust gas treatment systems—i.e., Comparison of loads (kg/year) of PAHs from direct discharges from ships and atmospheric deposition to the Baltic Sea.

Porsche simulates hydrogen V8 for virtual Nordschleife run; 440 kW, 261 km/h, near-zero NOx

Green Car Congress

For clean combustion of hydrogen, the turbochargers have to, on the one hand, provide around twice as much air mass as they do in gasoline engines. On the other hand, however, the lower exhaust gas temperatures result in a lack of energy for their propulsion on the exhaust side. Comparison of turbocharging systems.

Study finds scrubbers have lower climate impact than low-sulfur fuel

Green Car Congress

A recent report from CE Delft, an independent research and consultancy organization, regarding the climate impact of Exhaust Gas Cleaning (EGC) systems for the marine industry. Research has indicated that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shipping have increased by more than 10% in the last five years.

Swiss team concludes that particulate filters should be mandatory for GDI engines

Green Car Congress

Empa researchers Norbert Heeb and Maria Munoz discovered large quantities of benzo(a)pyrene (red bar)—a combustion product responsible for cutting short the lives of cigarette smokers—in the exhaust gas emitted by GDI engines. Levels in exhaust emissions were found to be as much as 1,700 times above this limit.

Audi launches next-gen A4 with new Millerized TFSI engine; g-tron model w/ Audi e-gas

Green Car Congress

All engines comply with the Euro 6 emission limits, so that the TDI has been labeled a clean diesel. Below it, the exhaust manifold is integrated into the cylinder head—a key element of efficient thermal management. This means that in the compression phase, the engine only has to compress as much gas as a 1.4 Millerized 2.0

A special camera scans the spray at intervals of 50 microseconds to record how the fuel behaves during the injection process, as only a clean mixture preparation process will assure optimal combustion. Fuel specifications are not publicly available yet, nor are emissions results and comparisons.
