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. However, as the carbon intensity of the EU energy mix is projected to decrease, the life-cycle emissions of a typical electric vehicle could be cut by at least 73% by 2050.

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.

If so, it is a valuable potential option for long haul transit in our quest for sustainable transportation. 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.
