Effects of impurities on the catalytic abatement of methane from natural gas engine exhaust

天然气发动机排气中的甲烷排放目前尚未受到管制，但预计将在未来几年内受到管制。为了满足日益严格的环境法规，需要先进的催化技术来减少未燃烧的甲烷。这一主题被广泛认为是对清洁空气和降低温室气体排放的长期挑战。由于在固定和移动的发电系统中越来越多地使用天然气作为替代燃料源，应对这一挑战已成为日益紧迫的问题。DCL International Inc.，一家总部位于加拿大安大略康科德的废气排放控制公司与多伦多大学合作开发甲烷催化技术

Methane emission from natural gas engine exhaust is not being regulated currently but is expected to be regulated within the next few years. In order to meet the increasingly stringent environmental regulations, advanced catalytic technology is required for the abatement of un-combusted methane. This topic is widely recognized as a long standing challenge towards cleaner air and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing the challenge has become an increasingly urgent issue, because of the increase in using natural gas as an alternative fuel source in both stationary and mobile power generation systems.
