Gasoline engines can operate lean to improve fuel economy, potentially reducing CO 2 emissions significantly. Further, advances in combustion development for gasoline have led to the potential for reduced engine-out NO x emissions for homogeneous lean operation compared to stratified lean operation. However, NO x emissions control at the tailpipe remains a major issue, as reducing NO x emissions is a significant challenge in an excess-oxygen environment.
