This technology has applications to the automotive industry and other sectors covered by regulations that control methane emissions. This catalyzes the oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide and water using excess oxygen in the exhaust stream. Methane in the exhaust at such dilute concentrations does not combust on its own.

Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. Emissions are usually higher in the production phase of electric cars, but these are more than offset by lower emissions in the use phase over time.

The direct injection two-stroke engine could be a very promising and interesting option for hydrogen combustion to achieve zero NO x because of its advantages of high-power density and inherent much lower NO x emissions. The only criteria emission of concern is NO x. If hydrogen combustion is sufficiently lean—i.e.,

The problem with this configuration is that neither the combustion process nor the values for efficiency and emissions can be optimized. A direct injection stratified natural gas engine could reduce CO 2 emissions by 35% compared to a contemporary port injection gasoline engine, the team said. By 2025, this limit could be even lower.
