Ford to offer 2014 F-150 with natural gas option

Green Car Congress

JULY 31, 2013

Ford will offer the 2014 F-150 with the ability to run on compressed natural gas, making Ford the only manufacturer in the US with an available CNG/LPG-capable half-ton pickup. liter V6 F-150 is equipped with a CNG/LPG engine package, it is capable of achieving more than 750 miles on one tank of gas, depending on the tank size selected.

SwRI and USTA researchers to develop a novel catalyst for low-temperature SCR

Green Car Congress

JUNE 24, 2014

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) announced funding for a new joint research projects to advance clean emission technologies. Future fuel economy standards will result in lower exhaust gas temperatures and limit the use of high-temperature SCR.

Researchers Say Mix of Policies and Current or Near-Term Technologies Could Phase Out US CO2 Emissions from Coal-Fired Power Plants by 2030

MAY 2, 2010

This global climate change problem becomes manageable only if society deals quickly with emissions of carbon dioxide from burning coal in electric power plants, they state. Readily available reserves of oil and gas are sufficient to take atmospheric CO 2 to at least 400 ppm. Kharecha et al. Kharecha, Charles F. Kutscher, James E.

Hyperion Unveils Design of its Small Modular Nuclear Reactor, the Hyperion Power Module

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 21, 2009

A true SMR design, that delivers a safe, simple and small source of clean, emission-free, robust and reliable power is needed today—not years from now. A gas plenum is at one end of the 2-3m long fuel pins. As we construct and deploy this launch design, we will continue to work towards licensing Dr. Peterson’s design.

ITM Power to deploy solar-powered hydrogen refueling station at CEME; wind-powered public H2 station opens in South Yorkshire

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 18, 2015

The station, which has been supported by Innovate UK, currently offers hydrogen gas at 350 bar. The station will be upgraded early 2016 to provide hydrogen at 700 bar as a result of funding from the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV).

POSTECH, Hyundai team develops new more thermally robust catalyst for NOx reduction with diesel engines

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 23, 2017

Improvement of the thermal durability of the SCR catalysts would therefore be the key to maximizing the fuel efficiency, as well as to producing clean emissions from diesel engines. The feed contains 500 ppm NH 3 , 500 ppm NO, 5% O 2 , 10% H 2 O balanced with N 2 at 100,000 h -1 gas hourly space velocity. —Ryu et al.

The result is cleaner combustion with low NO x and soot emissions. To realize ideal combustion timing and duration as well as clean emissions at the same time, Mazda uses this premixed compression ignition combustion by controlling ignition timing based on model-based prediction of ignition delay in the low compression ratio engine.
