General Emissions Research and Technology

General Emissions Research and Technology, contains technical papers from the SAE Spring Fuels and Lubricants Conference covering a range of emissions issues.

The area of emissions and emissions control has been an important one for more than three decades, and continues to be at the forefront of global focus as we continue into the new millennium.

As the world moves towards lead-free fuel in almost every nation, and considers moving away from fossil fuels altogether in some, the areas of emissions control have become extremely diverse.
