US DOE: Clean-Diesel R&D
Diesel Fuel News, Jan 7, 2002
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $10.7 million in grants (matched by private sector) for "advanced petroleum based fuels-diesel emissions control" (APBF-DEC) research & development using ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD).
The research aims to enable diesel engines delivering 35% better fuel economy while still hitting ultra-tough U.S. EPA light/heavy-duty emissions standards.
The R&D projects:
* FEV Engine Technologies: Nitrogen oxides (NOx) traps and diesel particulate filters (DPF) on light-duty diesel cars;
* Southwest Research Institute (SwRI): Impact of ULSD on emissions and control systems in pickup trucks (NOx adsober/DPF) and heavy-duty engines (DPF plus SCR, selective catalytic reduction);
Related Results
* Ricardo: NOx adsorber/DPF combo on heavy-duty engine
* Automotive Testing Labs: Emissions effects of base lubricant oils and additives.
Other project participants in APBF-DEC include American Petroleum Institute, American Chemistry Council, Engine Manufacturers Association, Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association, National Renewable Energy Lab, Oak Ridge National Lab, U.S. EPA, California Air Resources Board and South Coast Air Quality Management District (Los Angeles).
