After years of road testing and demonstrations of how its disruptive technology effectively reduces toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions during operation, Amminex has achieved a major commercial breakthrough by winning a contract to upgrade the majority of Copenhagen’s city buses for local traffic authority Movia. Amminex, together with both local partners and UK-based Eminox, has been selected to perform the upgrade and will install complete SCRT® catalyst based emissions systems in which Amminex ASDS™ technology is the key enabler of optimal NOx reduction. This will enable the buses to conform not only to the Euro VI standard, but also an additional expected future tightening of this standard that caters for real driving emissions (RDE).
Amminex ASDS technology unlocks the full potential of the SCR catalyst by storing and injecting gaseous ammonia (NH3) into the exhaust stream. This enables a highly efficient NOx reduction in all driving conditions without compromising the fuel efficiency and CO2 footprint of the vehicle. Moreover, it represents a distinct advantage in cold climates as well as low exhaust temperatures.
Amminex Emissions Technology is a fast growing Danish clean-tech company. The company’s unique NOx reduction technology is based on a system for ammonia storage and delivery, known as ASDS. The system reductant is ammonia bound in a solid, together called AdAmmine™, to dramatically reduce the emissions of toxic NOx gasses from diesel exhaust.
This technology is setting a new industry benchmark by enabling a significantly higher NOx reduction for vehicles than any other known technology. The technology already enables NOx emissions below future Euro VI standard for real driving emissions (RDE).
