Abstract:
|
The Cross-Cut Lean Exhaust Emissions Reduction Simulations (CLEERS) activities began in 2001, with the intention to enhance collaboration among OEMs, emission control suppliers, national laboratories, and universities for emission control research. CLEERS provides a framework for sharing non-proprietary data and simulations and also provides a mechanism for industry feedback to the Department of Energy. The activities are overseen by a CLEERS Planning Committee that implements rules and procedures, updates reports and recommendations to the Crosscut Team, and coordinates CLEERS Focus Groups.
In late 2006, the Department of Energy requested that CLEERS collect information from its partners on recommended research and development priorities for emission controls. The CLEERS Planning Committee undertook the design of the survey questions, the complete list of R&D priorities, and the list of partners to be surveyed (including Crosscut Team members and emission control suppliers), with a view toward understanding the most important focus areas for which the CLEERS group should apply future resources. The CLEERS Planning Committee engaged the services of an independent third party, New West Technologies LLC, to conduct the survey in January 2007, analyze the results, and report the results back to the CLEERS group.
In this work, the CLEERS partners were asked to review and prioritize a list of possible future activities and to highlight their three choices for the top priority items. Respondents were also asked to provide suggestions on the recommended balance of funding across several general areas of research. Results were collected separately for diesel and lean gasoline applications (although the lean gasoline work is outside the Crosscut scope). New West developed the electronic survey tools with the assistance of the CLEERS Planning Committee, distributed the tools to the respondents, collected and analyzed responses, and presented the results anonymously to the Committee to protect the identities of the responding companies. This report outlines the procedures and results of the study in more detail.
