Which mechanism reduces energy consumption when a catalytic converter reaches operating temperature?

💡 Explanation

When a catalytic converter reaches operating temperature, enhanced reaction rate kinetics occurs because the activation energy for pollutant oxidation/reduction is lowered, leading to more efficient conversion. Therefore, energy consumption is reduced, rather than back pressure, storage, or homogeneity which are secondary effects.
