Laboratory tests indicated that applying carbonate fuel cells to natural gas power generation could capture carbon dioxide more efficiently than current, conventional CCS technology.
The levels of these non-fuel-derived gases will likely remain unchanged, even as more drivers transition from gas-powered to electric vehicles. These emissions are independent of the vehicle energy/propulsion system and therefore applicable to all road vehicle types including those with battery-electric powertrains. Cliff et al.

To date, the technology has been evaluated with a close-coupled selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system with and without a 48-volt electric heater. Notably, using the same aftertreatment system with the addition of a 48-volt electric heater located upstream of the SCR further achieved a reduction in CO 2.
An actuator in the exhaust system, as fitted to the first SQ5 TDI, gives the V6 a sonorous sound. This offers the advantage since exhaustgas cleaning responds more quickly. The exhaust manifold benefits from improved insulation; the exhaustgas reaches the optimum temperature more quickly after a cold start.
The units uses two input streams (methanol/water mix and combustion air) and produces two output streams (product H 2 and combustion exhaust). Fuel cell vehicles typically require a pure grade of hydrogen in order to produce the electricity needed for propulsion. Source: e1. —Dave Edlund, e1 CEO.
