Advanced Emission Controls and Sustainable Renewable Fuels for Low Pollutant and CO2 Emissions on a Diesel Passenger Car

Research efforts into advanced emission control systems led to significant reduction of pollutant emissions modern internal combustion engines. Sustainable renewable fuels are used further reduce their Well-to-Wheels greenhouse gas emissions. The novel aspect this paper is the compatibility investigation existing technologies for achieving low with use sustainable vehicle tests. This done on a diesel demonstrator vehicle, equipped Lean NOx trap and dual-SCR in combination 48V mild-hybrid powertrain. Tailpipe CO2 measured market fuel 7% fatty-acid-methyl-ester (FAME) (B7), 30% FAME (B30), 100% hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). Results show no difference between different used. In second part study, (WTW) analysis conducted. includes pathways biomass-to-liquid that were tested as well power-to-diesel (e-diesel) assessment. WTW reductions possibly compared state-of-the-art fuel. Part already possible fleet most paraffinic compounds drop-in
