Catalyst Development for Methane Emissions Abatement from Lean Burn Natural Gas Vehicles. Purchase This Document Catalyst Development for Methane Emissions Abatement from Lean Burn Natural Gas Vehicles. Natural Gas Vehicles Summary Research conducted to develop a lean burn natural gas vehicle catalytic converter that would continue to oxidize methane over the lifetime of the vehicle is reported. Methane exhaust emissions from lean burn natural gas vehicle do not contribute to tropospheric ozone production and are therefore exempt from current U.S. vehicle exhaust emissions regulations.
Methane emissions are of concern in relation to the global impact of greenhouse gases.
Although this research did not result in developing a catalyst that would meet the requirements, the work contributes to the scientific understanding of the issues.
