Environment Canada/MECA team assesses black carbon emissions in GDI engine exhaust; evaluation of prototype gasoline particulate filter

Green Car Congress

Black carbon has a negative impact on the environment and on human health. In addition, the inhomogeneity of the fuel mixture under stratified operation in GDI engines during the compression stroke tends to contribute to higher particulate emissions compared to the exhaust emissions from traditional PFI engines.
