Lower Emissions, Higher Efficiency Gasoline Engines Using Dual Injection,

And Dual Fuel Gasoline-Ethanol Dual Injection

 

The internal combustion (IC) engine will likely remain the worldwide mainstay of light and heavy-duty vehicle propulsion for at least the next three decades.  As such, improvements to these engines can provide substantial global air pollution and greenhouse gas reduction benefits over this time frame.

 

Since its founding in 2005 EBS has focused on innovative technologies that can realize these improvements.

 

EBS technologies include approaches to optimize IC engines through the strategic use of combined port fuel injection (PFI) and direct injection (DI). In some approaches, a single fuel, such as gasoline, is provided through both the PFI and DI systems; and in other approaches, two fuels are used, with a second fuel, such as ethanol, being provided for direct injection.

 

EBS is the exclusive licensee of intellectual property from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and has also developed its own intellectual property.

 

EBS was founded by three researchers at MIT: Dr. Leslie Bromberg (EBS Treasurer), Dr. Daniel R. Cohn (EBS Chief Executive Officer), and Professor John B. Heywood.  

 

In addition to their involvement in EBS, Dr. Bromberg, Dr.  Cohn, and Professor Heywood are continuing their research at MIT.
