Study shows biodiesel blends in buses reduce PM, other harmful exhaust elements, EC and CO

Green Car Congress

The researchers found that biodiesel has many advantages over regular diesel even in a very low blend percentage, including low emissions of particulate matter, combustion elements (mainly sulfur), elemental carbon, and carbon monoxide. Biodiesel may produce high NO x emissions. Kumar et al.

New Federal-Mogul Powertrain high thermal conductivity seats and guides keep engine valves cooler; improved combustion, lower emissions

Green Car Congress

Suitable for series production, the new High Thermal Conductivity (HTC) materials and Thermal Interface Material (TIM) coating can reduce valve head temperatures by up to 70°C, allowing improved combustion and lower emissions. The materials also enable CO 2 emissions reduction by eliminating the need for fuel enrichment as a means of cooling.

MAN Diesel & Turbo delivers 1st IMO-certified two-stroke with Tier III NOx control, EGR systems

Green Car Congress

two-stroke main-engines that feature integrated Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems. Vessels with a keel-laid date on or after 1 January 2016 that travel in NO x Emission Control Areas (ECA) require IMO Tier III-certified engines. Sodium hydroxide dosing is therefore required to neutralise the acidic scrubber water.

Pike Research forecasts hybrid electric locomotive sales could reach nearly 500 units from 2011 to 2020; to utilize 514 MWh of battery capacity by 2020

Green Car Congress

The market will receive a boost from new diesel locomotive emissions regulations scheduled to go into effect in the European Union in 2014 and in North America in 2015, which will require diesel locomotives to receive substantial changes or exhaust treatments. Other benefits include reduced noise levels and lower maintenance costs.
