摘要: |
Natural gas is an abundant domestic fuel. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supports natural gas vehicle (NGV) research and development to help the United States reach its goal of reducing dependence on imported petroleum, as outlined in the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Another benefit of NGVs is that they can reduce emissions of regulated pollutants compared with diesel vehicles. This report details work to improve the ignition system in natural gas engines. The project was sponsored by DOE's Next Generation Natural Gas Vehicle (NGNGV) activity through the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. |
