It is well known that renewable diesel, such as hydro-treated vegetable oil (pictured), is a promising alternative to traditional diesel fuel in engines offering substantial reductions in exhaust emissions. However, to really maximise its potential, it appears that certain adjustments must be made to an engine.

Researchers from Tampere University and the University of Eastern Finland have found that the particulate emissions of auxiliary heaters can be up to a thousand times higher than the particulate emissions of idling gasoline vehicles. Their open-access study is published in the journal Atmosphere. doi: 10.3390/atmos12091105.

MEPPI will perform the design engineering work effort for the SMR-160 digital instrumentation and control system (DCS) and Human System Interface (HSI), needed for SMR-160 operation. A typical SMR-160 would use cooling water from a local natural source such as a lake, river or ocean to condense its exhaust steam.

Exhaust emissions from diesel engines were recently labelled as carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. At the other end of the scale, the same truck driving in Cyprus, Malta and Finland causes damage of around €0.005 (US$0.01) per kilometer. In some regions the cost is also much higher than others.
