Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is a technology utilized to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in exhaust streams, commonly applied in vehicles and industrial settings. By introducing a reductant, typically a urea-based solution such as AdBlue or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), into the exhaust stream, the technology triggers a reaction with NOx over a catalyst, resulting
