Abstract:
1. A NO x emission reduction system to reduce NO x emissions from an internal combustion engine, the system comprising: an internal combustion engine fluidly connected to a fuel tank; an exhaust line fluidly connected to the internal combustion engine; a fuel reformer to reform a first fuel into hydrogen (H a fuel cell stack to convert the hydrogen into electricity, the fuel cell stack fluidly connected to the fuel reformer via a first pipe; a hydrogen selective catalytic reduction (H-SCR) unit disposed on the exhaust line to convert the NO a second pipe fluidly connecting the fuel cell stack to the fuel reformer, the second pipe not in fluid communication with the first pipe; a reformate line to provide a fluid communication between the first pipe and the exhaust line; and a valve disposed on the first pipe, to independently control flow rates of the hydrogen through the reformate line and the first pipe.
