DOE awards $35M to 12 ARPA-E projects to reduce methane emissions; 5 on natural gas engines

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced $35 million in funding for twelve projects focused on developing technologies to reduce methane emissions in the oil, gas, and coal industries. Typical MOCs have diminished methane conversion efficiency at low temperatures, limiting their synergies with ultra-lean burn NG engines.
