Amount requested: $1,500,000
The funding will support research, development and demonstration of passive NOx removal catalysts. Current NOx removal technologies require engines to operate in conditions that reduce fuel economy. By researching ways to eliminate current technology tradeoffs of the combustion engine, this research may lead to technological innovations that improve the fuel-efficiency of engines. Within the Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Program, one important research area is Advanced Combustion Engine technologies. The program specifically focuses on technical barriers to the commercialization of higher efficiency, advanced internal combustion engines in passenger and commercial vehicles. The Passive NOx Removal Catalyst Research program is consistent with the Vehicle Technology Program’s goals.
