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

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.
