The heat of the exhaust gases is recovered to preheat the inlet gas with high-temperature heat exchangers when the system operates in a slightly exothermic mode. These results across the system confirm that the high-temperature electrolysis is a credible alternative to produce economically viable hydrogen without using fossil resources.

A common approach to reducing NO x emissions from diesel engines is the use of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR); the system converts NO x to nitrogen and water via the addition of ammonia. However, SCR only delivers satisfactory results at an exhaust gas temperature well above 200 ?C. —Marberger et al.
