UH Study to Focus on Reducing Pollutants in Vehicle Exhaust
A study led by researchers at UH Cullen College of Engineering is centered on cleaning up our air by replacing a component in vehicle exhaust systems with a piece of technology that could get rid of more than 80 percent of the smog-causing toxin known at NOx, or nitrogen oxide. With a roughly $3.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Program, Professor Michael Harold and his team will partner with researchers from the University of Kentucky, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Ford Motor Company and the chemical company BASF to further study the feasibility of this technology.

UH Diesel Testing Center Teams with TxDOT to Reduce Emissions
The UH Texas Diesel Testing and Research Center, in partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation, has been awarded a $500,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to test a system designed to reduce emissions produced by construction vehicles. Engineering researchers will supervise the installation of Nett Technologies' BlueMAX™ selective catalytic reduction system on five TxDOT nonroad vehicles and then test and analyze its ability to reduce emissions, which will provide the EPA with real-world performance data.
