Stringent regulations aimed at minimizing vehicle emissions have spurred the global emission control catalyst market. The market will also grow in tandem with the automotive and energy segments in Asia-Pacific, as rising vehicle sales and escalating demand for power add to the need for emission control catalysts.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.chemicals.frost.com), Global Market for Emission Control Catalysts, finds that the market earned revenue of more than $6.70 billion in 2012 and estimates this to reach $14.22 billion in 2019.

The $6.1 billion wholesale electricity markets in New England operated competitively in 2012, according to a report released by the Internal Market Monitor (IMM) of ISO New England Inc., an operator of the region's bulk power system and wholesale electricity markets.

According to a release, the 2012 Annual Markets Report (AMR12) shows that wholesale electricity prices fell as a result of lower natural gas prices and slightly lower demand for electricity in the six-state region. The report concludes that lower prices in 2012 were the outcome of efficient and competitive wholesale electricity markets.

CLEARSIGN COMBUSTION CORP ("CLIR-Q") - Further 37% Reduction In Nox From 8ppm To Below 5ppm

ClearSign Combustion Corporation, an emerging leader in combustion and emissions control technology for industrial, commercial and utility markets, reported today that it has measured and documented a further 37% reduction in emissions of Nitrogen Oxide (NOx), down to less than 5 parts per million (PPM) from the previous level of 8PPM announced in early April. This most recent test was performed using a prototype burner based on ClearSign's novel Duplex(TM) burner architecture, again in a furnace operating at a temperature of up to 1600 F with O2 concentrations ranging from 2.5% to 3.2%.

"A few weeks ago, when we first reported that we had reduced NOx to 8PPM, we stated that our goal was to achieve emissions of fewer than 5PPM NOx by the end of the current quarter," said CEO Rick Rutkowski. "Having achieved this major milestone nearly two months ahead of schedule, we are now targeting NOx emission levels of 2PPM or lower by the end of 2013."

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 7 -- United States Patent no. 8,434,296, issued on May 7, was assigned to Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (Tokyo).

"Exhaust emission control device for internal combustion engine" was invented by Katsuji Wada (Saitama, Japan), Shinya Ishimaru (Saitama, Japan), Jun Iwamoto (Saitama, Japan) and Nobuhiro Komatsu (Saitama, Japan). According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Provided is an exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine capable of preventing NOx purification performance from degrading according to the operating condition. The exhaust emission control device comprises a NOx purification catalyst, a catalytic converter for continuously reducing the NOx in the exhaust emissions, a fuel reformer for reforming fuel to manufacture a reformed gas and supplying the reformed gas as the reducing gas from the upstream side of the NOx purification catalyst and the catalytic converter of the exhaust pipe, an operating condition detecting means for detecting the operating condition of an engine, and an enriching means for enriching the exhaust air-fuel ratio. The enriching means enriches the exhaust air-fuel ratio by supplying the reducing gas into the exhaust pipe by using the fuel reformer when the operating condition detected by the operating condition detecting means is a high-load operating condition." The patent was filed on Nov. 18, 2008, under Application No. 12/811,817. *For further information, including images, charts and tables, please visit:
