SwRI engineers help develop post-refinery diesel treatment that overcomes soot/NOx tradeoff for cleaner burning fuel

Green Car Congress

The result is a modified fuel that potentially could replace today’s ultra-low sulfur diesel, biodiesel and other renewable diesel fuels. Internal combustion engines, when burning a fuel-air mixture, produce harmful pollutants such as soot and NO x. —“Process for the production of an improved diesel fuel” CA3125557A1.
