How can SCR be good for business as well as good for the environment?
In addition to good economics, SCR makes a compelling case for improving air quality and positively impacting the environment. In fact, according to sources at EPA, SCR is the first technology in decades to be as good for business as it is good for the environment. The Diesel Technology Forum describes SCR as one of the most cost-effective and fuel-efficient technologies available to help reduce emissions. It can reduce NOx emissions up to 90 percent, hydrocarbon and CO emissions by 50 to 90 percent, and particulate matter (PM) emissions by 30 to 50 percent. SCR systems can also be combined with a diesel particulate filter to achieve even greater emission reductions for PM. SCR is the only feasible technology that can deliver EPA 2010 .2 g/bhp-hr NOx standards which are more stringent than Euro 4 and 5, and are well ahead of Euro 6 requirements that take effect in 2013. Today, more than 500,000 SCR trucks are operating successfully throughout Europe and the reduced emissions and improv
