SwRI CAT-DEF reduces heavy-duty diesel emissions to meet CARB 2027 NOx requirements

Green Car Congress

CAT-DEF—Catalyzed Diesel Exhaust Fluid—is an SwRI-developed catalyst- and surfactant-modified diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) solution. The internally funded advancement successfully reduced heavy-duty diesel engine nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2027 standards.

German OEMs to upgrade emissions control on 5.3M Euro 5 and 6 diesels, contribute to €500M Sustainable Mobility fund

Green Car Congress

German auto manufacturers will optimize the emissions systems in 5.3 The aim is a 30% reduction in NO x emissions from these vehicles by the end of 2018. This applies in particular to the use of urea for exhaust gas purification in achieving the highest efficiency achieved in this process.

Scripps research ship fueled by 100% NEXBTL renewable diesel for 1 year; emissions analysis

Green Car Congress

In 2014, Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a grant from the US Department of Transportation to test the use of biofuel on the research vessel Robert Gordon Sproul for more than a year. Further, the decrease in NO x was a welcome surprise, since many other types of biofuel have shown increased NO x emissions, said Betha.

UW-Madison engineer collaborating with entrepreneur on 6-cycle, external combustion engine; could be up to 30% more efficient than standard diesel

Green Car Congress

The pair has received $850,000 in grants to support the fabrication and testing of a prototype of the K6 engine; Shedd says he expects to have a prototype running by late fall or early winter. Complete combustion of fuels results in low emissions which are not adversely affected by sulfur-containing fuels. —Timothy Shedd.
