not produced naturally as are fossil energies, but as the product of converting other resources. The H 2 used in industry is mainly produced by converting natural gas (CH 4 ), which has the downside of emitting CO 2. These minerals contain reduced iron, which oxidizes upon contact with water to produce hydrogen.

SwRI D-EGR gasoline demo vehicle delivers diesel efficiency at lower cost; potential for LEV III/Tier 3 emissions

Green Car Congress

D-EGR is a SwRI-developed gasoline engine concept that uses in-cylinder fuel reforming to produce CO and H 2 (with Research Octane Numbers of 106 and 130, respectively) and high levels of recirculated gas (EGR) to achieve very high levels of thermal efficiency. The D-EGR demonstrator is a converted 2012 Buick Regal with a 2.0-liter

The Chain Reaction That Propels Civilization

Cars That Think

Thanks to the catalytic converter in their cars, most people have an idea of what catalysis is. It refers to a chemical reaction that is enabled, or greatly speeded up, by the presence of one or more other chemicals. More than 90 percent of all industrial-chemical processes depend on catalysis. It is a stunningly powerful mechanism.
