Selective catalyst reduction (SCR) using cordierite honeycomb substrate is generally used as a DeNOx catalyst for diesel engines exhaust in both on-road and commercial off-highway vehicles to meet today’s worldwide emission regulations. Worldwide NOx emission regulations will become stricter, as represented by CARB2027 and EuroVII. Technologies which can achieve further lower NOx emissions are required. Recently, several technologies, like increased SCR catalyst loading amount on honeycomb substrates, and additional SCR catalyst volume in positions closer to the engine are being considered to achieve ultra-low NOx emissions. However, undesirable pressure drop increase and enlarging after treatment systems will be caused by adopting these technologies. Therefore, optimization of the material and honeycomb cell structure for SCR is inevitable to achieve ultra-low NOx emissions, while minimizing any system drawbacks.
