Combustion Efficient Euro 6 HGV Dual Fuel

天然气（甲烷）是内燃动力运输的一种优秀低碳燃料，特别是在为HGV提供动力的双燃料解决方案中使用时。现有的发动机已经很容易修改，并证明在欧5和6水平的一部分，创新英国低碳卡车试验。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“甲烷泄漏”抵消了大部分二氧化碳减排，而且更严格的欧6排放限制意味着合规性具有挑战性。这严重阻碍了英国和其他欧洲政府将甲烷作为HGV车队选择的替代燃料的努力。G-volution早期对控制甲烷泄漏和开发新的后处理技术的研究表明，合规和二氧化碳减排是可能的。该联盟将开发和展示15款双燃料（柴油/天然气）道路车辆，这些车辆完全符合欧6排放法规，并在真实的HGV运行中显示出额外的CO2减少。

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.
