Combustion Efficient Euro 6 HGV Dual Fuel

天然气(甲烷)是一种用于内燃动力运输的优秀低碳燃料，特别是在为HGV提供动力的双燃料解决方案中使用时。作为创新英国低碳卡车试验的一部分，现有发动机已经很容易地在欧5和欧6级别进行了改装和验证。不幸的是，甲烷作为一种温室气体，其威力是二氧化碳的20多倍，不仅大型公路发动机的“甲烷滑落”抵消了二氧化碳减排的大部分成果，而且更严格的欧6排放限制意味着合规面临挑战。这严重阻碍了英国和其他欧洲政府宣称的甲烷成为HGV车队选择的替代燃料的努力。G-Volution早期对控制甲烷滑脱和开发新的后处理技术的研究表明，结合这些技术可以实现顺应性和减少二氧化碳排放。该财团将开发和展示15辆完全符合欧6排放法规的双燃料(柴油/天然气)公路车辆，并在实际运营中显示出额外的二氧化碳减排效果。

Natural gas (methane) is an excellent low carbon fuel for Internal Combustion powered transportation, particularly when used in dual fuel solutions for powering HGVs. Existing engines have been readily modified and proven at Euro 5 and 6 level as part of an Innovate UK Low Carbon Truck Trial. Unfortunately methane, as a Greenhouse gas, is 20+ times more powerful than CO2 and, not only does ‘methane slip’ from large road going engines negate much of the CO2 saving achieved, but tighter Euro 6 emissions limits mean that compliance is challenging. This is severely hampering the UK and other European Governments' stated attempts for methane to become an alternative fuel of choice for HGV fleets. G-volution’s earlier research into controlling methane slip and development of new after-treatment techniques has shown that compliance and CO2 reduction is possible with a combination of these. The consortium will develop and demonstrate 15 dual fuel (diesel/gas) road vehicles that comply fully with Euro 6 emissions regulation and show additional CO2 reduction in real life HGV operation.
