Their work may help to lower the cost of NO x treatments and thus ultimately make diesel a more cost-effective automotive fuel. One of the obstacles to the more widespread adoption of diesel engines—especially in the face of increasingly stringent emissions requirements—is the requirement for a lean NO x aftertreatment system.

To be credible, as noted above, an offset should equate to an emission reduction from a direct emission source, such as a smokestack or exhaust pipe.
