HOW TO REDUCE REGULATED POLLUTANT EMISSIONS IN GASOLINE AND DIESEL ENGINES?

There are two options: The first is the reduction at source, Engine design, combustion, engine
operation and engine control and the second is treatment by systems.

Pollutant Engine Diesel Engine Gasoline


CO2 Alternative fuel: natural gas ethanol and natural gas
This technology tends to produce lower CO2, and these gases have smaller
and simpler molecules giving cleaner combustion therefore results in less
soot formation.
SO2 Reduce S2 in the treatment of diesel in Unit of HydroSulfurization (HDS)
and Gasoline in HDS and Reforming.
