IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable.

New ORNL non-precious metal catalyst shows promise as low-cost component for low-temperature exhaust aftertreatment

Green Car Congress

However, in addition to their high cost, PGM catalysts struggle with CO oxidation at low temperatures (<200 °C) due to inhibition by hydrocarbons in exhaust streams. As we make engines more efficient, less wasted heat exits the engine into the exhaust system where catalysts clean up the pollutant emissions.
