NH<sub>3</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O Real World Emissions Measurement from a CNG Heavy Duty Vehicle Using On-Board Measurement Systems
The development and utilization of a series of after-treatment devices in modern vehicles has led to an increase in emissions of NH<sub>3</sub> and/or N<sub>2</sub>O with respect to the past. N<sub>2</sub>O is a long-lived greenhouse gas and an ozone-depleting sub...

The development and utilization of a series of after-treatment devices in modern vehicles has led to an increase in emissions of NH<sub>3</sub> and/or N<sub>2</sub>O with respect to the past. N<sub>2</sub>O is a long-lived greenhouse gas and an ozone-depleting substance, while NH<sub>3</sub> is a precursor of secondary aerosols in the atmosphere. Certain regions, e.g., the EU and the USA, have introduced limits to the emissions of NH<sub>3</sub> or N<sub>2</sub>O for vehicles tested in the laboratory. However, due to the lack of on-board systems that allow for the measurement of these compounds when the regulations were developed, these vehicles’ real-world emissions have not been regulated. This work evaluates on-board systems that could allow measuring real-world emissions of NH<sub>3</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O from heavy-duty vehicles.
