Heesung Catalysts Wins 2024 Edison Patent Award for TWC-NT Catalyst Technology
2024.11.06
In November 2024, Heesung Catalysts was honored with the 2024 Edison Patent Award, presented by the Research & Development Council of New Jersey, for its TWC-NT (Three-Way Catalyst – NOx Trap) system, an advanced emission control technology for gasoline engines.
This award recognizes the patented technology developed by Jinwoo Song, Head of R&D, and Senior Researcher Jun Lee, for its contribution to global environmental regulation compliance and technological innovation.
The Edison Patent Award celebrates outstanding R&D achievements and evaluates patents based on importance, novelty, social and economic value, and commercial impact.
Heesung Catalysts received high recognition for its TWC-NT catalyst technology, designed to address gasoline engine emissions.
The TWC-NT catalyst, a patented technology that surpasses the limitations of conventional Three-Way Catalysts (TWC), efficiently stores NOx emissions during fuel cut conditions and later converts them into nitrogen (N₂), significantly reducing emissions.
This technology meets stringent global environmental standards, including:
- North America’s LEV-4 and Tier-IV standards
- Europe’s Euro-7 standards
Additionally, by effectively reducing nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions, which have 298 times the global warming potential of CO₂, the TWC-NT catalyst decreases N₂O emissions by more than 50% compared to conventional three-way catalysts, contributing to environmental sustainability.
This award validates the competitiveness of Heesung Catalysts’ patent-based green technology in the global market.
Heesung Catalysts remains committed to developing creative and innovative technologies to build a sustainable future together with its customers.
