Impacts of reducing shipboard NOx̳ and SOx̳ emissions on vessel performance
… from environmental organizations to reduce the emissions footprint of their vessels. In the last decade, air emissions, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter, have become the focus. In an effort to regulate and gain control of …

Did State Renewable Portfolio Standards Induce Technical Change In Methane Mitigation in the U.S. Landfill Sector?
… source of energy or heat, reduced odor, reduced air pollution emissions, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. However, landfills sometimes face conflicting policy incentives. The theory of technical change shows that the diffusion of a technology or groups of technologies increases slowly in the …

Computational fluid dynamics modeling of a large bore two-stroke natural gas engine
… industry, primarily in 10 cylinder versions. As air emission regulations have been enacted, reducing exhaust emission levels from pipeline engines has become increasingly important. Insufficient in-cylinder mixing due to ineffective fuel delivery is believed to be problematic in these natural gas …
