Revolutionizing Heavy-Duty Transport: SWRI's H2-ICE Engine Achieves Ultra-Low Emissions and High Performance
Key Ideas
- SWRI's H2-ICE engine successfully delivers ultra-low NOx and CO2 emissions while maintaining torque and power for heavy-duty applications.
- The Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (H2-ICE) consortium aims to advance hydrogen engine technology and support zero-emission vehicle initiatives.
- The project achieved remarkable emissions results, including nearly near-zero tailpipe NOx emissions, setting a new industry standard.
- The innovative after-treatment system tailored to the hydrogen exhaust environment significantly reduces NOx emissions and enhances efficiency.
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed a hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine, the H2-ICE, that offers ultra-low nitric oxide (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions while maintaining sufficient torque and power for heavy-duty applications. The project, part of SwRI's H2-ICE consortium, involved converting a Cummins X15N natural gas engine to run on port-injected hydrogen. The consortium, established in 2022, aims to promote sustainable mobility by leveraging cutting-edge hydrogen engine technology. The engine achieved industry-leading NOx emissions, meeting stringent environmental standards. SWRI's innovative after-treatment system further reduces NOx emissions, setting a new standard in the industry. With a focus on decarbonization and zero-emission transport, the H2-ICE engine is a significant advancement for the trucking industry, offering high performance with minimal environmental impact.
