Researchers at Loughborough University in the UK have developed a novel system that enhances SCR operation to further reduce NO x emissions and improve diesel engine efficiency. Currently almost all new diesel vehicles are fitted with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system to try and remove NO x produced by combustion.
