The CAGE project (Clean Air Gas Engine) brings together the gas engine development expertise of project lead OakTec with leading industrial partners Jaguar LandRover (JLR) and Autocraft Drivetrain Solutions. With further support from Calor/SHV Energy, who will provide innovative bioLPG fuelling solutions, industrial engine supplier EP Barrus, and Kings College London (KCL) to assess and monitor air quality benefits, the project builds on five years dedicated research into efficient, low emission industrial gas engines by OakTec. The project applies Oaktec's IP in low emission gas engine combustion and control to JLR's state of the art Ingenium automotive engine platform, and optimises its performance to suit a range of industrial applications used in the construction industry. The CAGE product will be integrated into Non Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) typically powered by red diesel engines on construction and demolition sites. Its benefits will be demonstrated in these working environments with a focus on use in dedicated low emission areas such as London's Ultra Low Emission Zone. The demonstration will include a bioLPG generator manufactured by UK OEM Sutton Power Engineering, to provide energy for construction site welfare cabins and a bioLPG fuelled dumper truck.(TBC)The inherent low emission benefits of gas fuels are well documented with natural advantages in output of NOx, and harmful particulates when compared with diesel engines. Diesel engines however have perceived advantages in ease of refuelling with low cost fuel, and fuel efficiency when compared to other engine types, making them very attractive to the construction sector. The CAGE project fully addresses these issues to offer a cost competitive, ultra low emission gas engine product with easy refuelling and competitive fuel costs. Fuel efficiency and emissions are addressed by harnessing the many inherent benefits and technologies in the JLR Ingenium engine that give it class leading automotive performance, and introduces the OakTec innovations in industrial gas engine fuelling, operational control and combustion, including strategies that all but eliminate NOx emissions. Parallel activity by the innovation group at Calor UK will develop and supply on-site fuelling solutions exactly tailored for ease of use by the customer, based on a 'Mother and Daughter' system whereby a bulk tank is delivered to the site with systems to enable safe refuelling to smaller, machine-specific storage tanks. This benefits the customer by enabling purchase at a wholesale LPG cost that is currently lower than red diesel. By adopting Calor's new bioLPG product CO2 emissions can be further reduced by up to 80%. EP Barrus, Europe’s leading supplier of industrial engines, are supporting OakTec in taking their new gas engine products to market, and in the CAGE project will work with selected OEM's to support the integration of the new gas engine into their machines.KCL will assess the emission reduction potential of the CAGE product on NRMM fleet emissions using a range of scenarios based on technology penetration into different engine sizes and machinery types. This will be based on a unique emissions inventory already developed on NRMM fleet location, activity and measured real world emission factors and offers the opportunity to optimise technology design from a clean air perspective.

CAGE项目（清洁空气燃气发动机）汇集了项目领导者OakTec与领先的工业合作伙伴捷豹路虎（JLR）和Autocraft传动系统解决方案的燃气发动机开发专业知识。在Calor/SHV Energy（将提供创新的生物液化石油气燃料解决方案）、工业发动机供应商EP Barrus和伦敦国王学院（KCL）的进一步支持下，该项目建立在OakTec对高效、低排放工业燃气发动机的五年专门研究基础上。该项目将Oaktec在低排放气体发动机燃烧和控制方面的知识产权应用于捷豹路虎最先进的Ingenium汽车发动机平台，并优化其性能，以适应建筑行业的一系列工业应用。CAGE产品将集成到非道路移动的机械（NRMM）中，通常由建筑和拆除现场的红色柴油发动机驱动。它的好处将在这些工作环境中得到证明，重点是在专用的低排放区域，如伦敦的超低排放区。该示范将包括一个由英国OEM萨顿电力工程制造的生物液化石油气发电机，为建筑工地的福利舱和生物液化石油气燃料自卸车提供能源。（待定）气体燃料固有的低排放优势已得到充分证明，与柴油发动机相比，气体燃料在NOx和有害颗粒物的输出方面具有天然优势。然而，与其他发动机类型相比，柴油发动机在易于用低成本燃料加油和燃料效率方面具有明显的优势，这使得它们对建筑行业非常有吸引力。CAGE项目完全解决了这些问题，提供了一种具有成本竞争力的超低排放燃气发动机产品，易于加油和具有竞争力的燃料成本。通过利用JLR Ingenium发动机的许多固有优势和技术来解决燃油效率和排放问题，这些优势和技术使其具有一流的汽车性能，并在工业燃气发动机加油，操作控制和燃烧方面引入了OakTec创新，包括消除NOx排放的策略。Calor UK创新团队的并行活动将开发和提供现场加油解决方案，该解决方案基于“母女”系统，为客户提供方便易用的现场加油解决方案，该系统将散装罐运送到现场，并配备系统，以便安全地为较小的机器专用储罐加油。这使客户能够以目前低于红色柴油的批发LPG成本购买。通过采用卡洛的新生物液化石油气产品，二氧化碳排放量可进一步减少高达80%。欧洲领先的工业发动机供应商EP Barrus正在支持OakTec将其新的燃气发动机产品推向市场，在CAGE项目中，KCL将与选定的OEM合作，支持将新的燃气发动机集成到他们的机器中。KCL将根据技术渗透到不同发动机尺寸的情况，使用一系列方案评估CAGE产品对NRMM车队排放的减排潜力，机械类型。这将基于NRMM车队位置、活动和测量的真实的世界排放因子已经开发的独特排放清单，并提供从清洁空气角度优化技术设计的机会。
