Auto SCR System Market - Global Size, Share & Industry Trends

Sbmimr10 Aug, 2021Business

The automotive selective catalytic reduction (SCR) market is projected to cross 12.23 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 11.3% from 2021 to 2026. The selective catalytic reduction is an advanced active emission control system that uses a special catalyst to inject a liquid-reductant agent into the exhaust stream of a diesel engine. The reducing agent is usually automotive-grade urea, also known as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), which initiates a chemical reaction that transforms nitrogen oxide to water, nitrogen, and a trace amount of carbon dioxide (CO2). The nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction reaction in an oxidizing atmosphere is carried out by a selective catalytic reduction method for automobiles. It's called selective because it uses ammonia as a reductant within a catalyst framework to minimize NOx levels.
