The engine would use at least 25% less fuel and, he claims, its emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide would be cut by three-quarters because of its unique ignition properties.
The surfactant itself also burns without creating emissions beyond water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
According to the company it removes not just sulfur dioxide, but also carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
In part, the idea is to refine the approach first recognised in the 1930s, which exploits the chemical affinity between carbon dioxide and nitrogen-based molecules such as ammonia or the closely-related amines.
Plants, bugs, trees, worms, bacteria and men are mostly carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen.
Those materials vary, and may utilize sand, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, air and other substances.

When Caesar exhaled, he released an enormous number of "breath" molecules, mostly nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
As he puts it, a cubic metre of regolith contains, besides the necessary oxygen, enough hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, potassium and other trace elements to make two cheese sandwiches on rye, two colas and two large plums.
The researchers examined the prevailing inspection system called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II), which tests for excessive carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides, and also checks the power-train systems for problems that might eventually lead to elevated emissions levels.
FORBES: Competition Leads to Workplace Corruption, Research Shows
Paclitaxel comes from the Pacific yew, a small, slow-growing fir found in small pockets in the Pacific Northwest. (Docetaxel comes from the European yew.) Devising a synthetic version is difficult because the chemical is exceedingly complex, marked by concentric rings of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen.
Carbon could also be used as a fuel, NASA scientists speculate, and the process would turn the carbon into nitrogen, the most abundant element in the atmosphere.
FORBES: NASA: A Nuclear Reactor To Replace Your Water Heater
Ertel was soon a big producer at Natsource, trading sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon and even weather derivatives.
It must implement regulations that capture the environmental benefits of nuclear, such as low emissions of carbon dioxide as well as nitrogen and sulfur oxides.
WSJ: The Experts: What's the Best Way Forward on Nuclear Power?
That hydrogen and carbon monoxide mixture is then pumped into one of two NOx traps, where it strips the oxygen from the NOx, forming nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water.
When the rover drilled a sample from it and heated it up in its onboard lab, it found traces of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur the building blocks of life.
The latter include health-damaging and smog-forming airborne pollutants like hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, as well as greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and other compounds.
The resulting chemical reaction converts the nasty NOx fumes into nonpolluting nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide.
All life forms on earth use six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur.
Also, the cleaner burning fuel reduces combustion byproducts over petroleum and diesel, cutting carbon monoxide emissions by an estimated 90%-97%, and nitrogen dioxide emissions by 35%-60%.

The neutrons smashed into nitrogen and created much more carbon 14 than normal.
Jaggi says he determined that once the algae is done with it, 70% of the carbon dioxide is neutralized and out comes oxygen, nitrogen and water.
Fuel cells offer several advantages: they do not have moving parts and there is no burning involved, so there are negligible emissions of environmentally harmful gases like nitrogen, sulfur oxide and carbon monoxide.
Power plants that burn coal produce more than 90 times as much sulfur dioxide, five times as much nitrogen oxide and twice as much carbon dioxide as those that run on natural gas, according to the Government Accountability Office, the regulatory arm of Congress.
Water-ice covers Charon, while Pluto's surface is predominantly nitrogen frost with traces of methane and carbon monoxide ices.
Instead, a low-energy nuclear reactor (LENR) uses common, stable elements like nickel, carbon, and hydrogen to produce stable products like copper or nitrogen, along with heat and electricity.

Its half-life the time taken for half the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay is 109 minutes, compared with two minutes for oxygen-15, ten minutes for nitrogen-13 and 20 minutes for carbon-11.
Automakers already strip lots of other pollutants from cars, such as the nitrogen oxides that contribute to smog, and carbon monoxide, which is poisonous.
In the grit of fine-grained mudstone, the scientists identified sulfur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and carbon some of the key chemical ingredients for conditions suitable for life.
If we believe environmental activist claims that carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, mercury, and particulate emissions to say nothing of global warming and carbon dioxide emissions are so bad for human health, natural gas production should be a no-brainer.
