Motivation:
* To investigate effects of biomass fuels on fuel injection, combustion,
emission and the aftertreatment system
* To validate Volvo 2010 Exhaust Aftertreatment System being tolerant of
biomass fuels for the Bilateral Project
-Diesel Particulate Filter model for passive soot regeneration
sufficient for biomass soot
-Selective Catalyst Reduction system avoids degradation
throughout testing

* Gain insight into potential obstacles that biomass fuels present
