MAN Energy launches industry consortium to develop medium-speed, ammonia-fueled engine

Green Car Congress

Initiated by MAN with partners from industry and research institutes, it aims to define the steps necessary to produce a dual-fuel, medium-speed engine capable of running on diesel-fuel and ammonia. This will be done in close collaboration with MAN and will also form the basis for defining any requirements for exhaust-gas aftertreatment.

Siemens researching thermoelectric waste heat recovery for lower grade exhaust; industrial and mobile application

Green Car Congress

Siemens is researching technologies that would allow waste heat from vehicles and industrial facilities to be used efficiently. To date, exhaust gas has generally only been used if it was hundreds of degrees Celsius hot. Here, a prototype is being used to study the potential of recovering heat from a car’s exhaust.

Yamaha and Sumitomo demo on-board thermoelectric generator for CO2 reduction

Green Car Congress

a Sumitomo Corporation Group company, jointly demonstrated a new waste heat recovery system based on a thermoelectric generator (TEG), which generates electrical power via exhaust gas heat. The TEG unit was installed in the exhaust pipe at the downstream of the catalyst. With the TEG, 1.9% of CO 2 emissions (i.e.

Bosch to receive €160.7M in funding to support scale-up of solid-oxide fuel cell system production

Green Car Congress

million from the federal government of Germany and the states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, and Saarland for its project for the initial industrialization of stationary solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems:“Bosch Power Units”. The heart of the system is the SOFC stack, where chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.

Optimized heavy-duty CI engine fueled with DME delivers diesel performance, significantly reduces engine-out emissions

Green Car Congress

The engine was also equipped with an electrically driven volumetric pump in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) path which gives the freedom to set any desired EGR rate, independently from the pressure ratios across the turbocharger. EGR system consisting of an EGR cooler, an electrically driven EGR pump and respective piping.

UK researchers report that alcohols in windshield washer fluid are major unreported source of VOCs emissions from cars, including EVs

Green Car Congress

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.
