Regulatory
• little economical interest of industry to
remove these substances
• High economical interest of industry as
reduction of CO2 and CH4 always goes along
with increase of engine efficiencies
• Protection of society against hazardous
substances is must do
• Regulatory limits should be based on
greenhouse gas equivalents instead separate
limits for CO2 or CH4
• Identify limits and cast this into law
• Win – win position for industry and society

Side Note on CCS
A question on Carbon Capture Storage
Logically the problems around CCS are
broadly equivalent to storage on nuclear waste.
-
Ensure long term sealing in the underground
Eventually CO2 release through tectonic
There is a substantial amount of cost
and energy needed for CO2 storage needed
Acceptance of people living in the vicinity of
underground storages questionable.
Resistance can be expected
1. CO2 pumped into disused coal fields displaces methane which
can be used as fuel
2. CO2 can be pumped into and stored safely in saline aquifers
3. CO2 pumped into oil fields helps maintain pressure, making
extraction easier
The logical question needs to be answered :
 Instead of investing resources on CCS could society be better off by focusing
resources into renewable energies.
We need to be clear: climate change is real and demands sustainable solutions

•
Oxicats work stable for oxidization of CO and longer non methane
hydrocarbons with conversion efficiencies around 98 %
•
With formaldehyde (CH2O) Oxicats tend to degrade.
•
Using Biogas or blending LNG with Biogas will add phosphor, sulfur,
potassium and other elements, which act as catalyst poison which will
cause degradation of catalyst efficiency

Methane slip reduction for lean burn combustion

•
Ignition timing and pre chamber sizing
Compression ratio (e.g. run the engine at
NOx limits)
Increased charge air temperature
Air bypass valve opening at part load
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
Optimisation of pilot fuel injection
(timing and quantity) in DF Engines
Minimize dead volumes in the combustion chamber
Skip firing at part load
Power management for multi engine
installations
Result: methane slip of lean burn modern gas engines
can be reduced to 1.5% – 3.0% at 100% load point

Emission Compliance
Summary
1. Hazardous Substances
•
•
•
•
Solutions for emission compliance of most hazardous substances are well known
and proven technologies
Remaining issues are small NMVOCs ethane, ethylene, and formaldehyde
Blending of biogas into LNG is detrimental to emission reduction, due to poisoning
of catalysts
There is significantly lower investment cost for gas engine after treatment
systems, compared to liquid fuel HFO engines with DeSOx and particle filtering
systems
2. Green House Gas
•
•
Gas engines provide a 20% lower green house warming potential (GWP) compared to
Diesel engines
Remaining issues are centred around methane slip. There are continuous
improvement programs ongoing at the labs of the engine manufactures
