Definition:
Emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO and NO₂), formed during high-temperature combustion processes, contributing to air pollution and smog.
Key Components:
- Combustion sources (engines, turbines)
- Emission control systems (SCR, EGR)
- Monitoring sensors
Use Cases/Industries:
- Automotive and transportation
- Power generation
- Industrial combustion
Advantages:
(Only in context of monitoring/control)
- Targeted regulation
- Enables cleaner technologies
Challenges:
- Harmful to human health
- Regulated under stringent standards
- Complex to eliminate in high-temperature combustion
Related Terms:
Lifecycle Emissions, ICE, Hydrogen Combustion
Example:
Hydrogen engines reduce CO₂ but still emit NOx, requiring after-treatment systems.
