Oak Ridge National Lab study for international energy agency confirms higher [NO.sub.x] emissions from biodiesel

Diesel Fuel News, June 23, 2003

> The study (SAE 2003-01-1866) confirms many others showing higher nitrogen oxides ([NO.sub.x]) emissions from biodiesel combustion. "We think it's due to higher oxygen content in biodiesel, but we don't know," ORNL researcher Ralph McGill explained here to SAE-Yokohama meeting. As for particulates, "soluble organic fraction is a large part of biodiesel PM," although oxi-cats usually can handle SOF and PAH emission, he said.
