Nano-SCR

Development of nanoscale SCR catalysts for combined NO_x and soot reduction in diesel engines

Due to their efficiency and high performance, diesel engines are used worldwide as drives in e.g., busses, heavy commercial vehicles, and machines. No_x and soot from diesel engines must be reduced drastically to meet the high legal particle and nitrogen oxide emission reduction standards expected for the future.  
Nano-SCR is aimed at developing soot particle filters that are provided with nanoscale catalysts for reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions. Emphasis is placed on the development of smallest possible, non-aging catalysts that will endure the life of the vehicle. Concepts will be devised for a new generation of space- and weight-saving filter catalyst systems and for easy-to-install exhaust gas after-treatment components for vehicles and systems equipped with diesel engines.
