Why does different types of vehicle engines produce different exhaust emissions?

For instance diesel engines use compression for combustion versus spark plugs which are used in everyday vehicle engines. Some engines use different fuels therefore when combustion occurs the exhaust produces emissions based on the fuel mixture.

What are the different types of diesel engines are there?
In a nutshell, you have highway engines, off-road engines, marine engines, and power generation engines. While the different types might be built on matching blocks, where they're cruised at RPM-wise, the amount of power they produce, and their peak powerbands will vary, as well as the emissions standards which they're subject to.

Can a engines power be increased while at the same time decreasing its emissions?
Yes, A poorly tuned engine will produce more emissions and less power than a well tuned engine.
Why thus the compression ignition engines produce fewer emissions?
Compression ignition engines can easier be made to run lean, meaning they'll havemore air than what's actually needed for the amount of fuel that's present. With excess air,(and higher temperature) it's easier to get more of the fuel burnt. With more of the fuel burnt, there's less unburnt fuel being vented as exhaust, meaning fewer emissions.
What is emissions systems?
The emissions system used in cars is a system which is designed to restrict the amount of pollution cars produce. Newer cars have system which prevent both Evaporative Emissions and harmful Exhaust Emissions. The Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) system prevents the escape of unburnt fuel vapor form the fuel tank, the fuel lines, and the engine. The Exhaust system uses at least one Catalytic converter, which is used to burn off gasses produced by the engine. On newer cars, both the EVAP and Exhaust are monitored by the vehicle's computer, which can alter the way the engine runs and can warn the driver of EVAP leaks.
How can a designer of solid rocket engines make the engines produce different amounts of thrust?
The thrust of a solid rocket engine depends on the composition of the solid fuel and the rate at which it is burned, and to some extent on the way the gases are directed by the exhaust nozzles. The same material can be burned at different rates to produce more or less thrust, and the nozzles (also used for directional control) can divert this thrust to control velocity and stability.

Why electrolysis is important?
We can produce hydrogen and oxygen and develop engines to operate on it with the exhaust emitting only water.We can then get off the ethanol boondoggle and make food more affordable. And how about selling the water exhaust to the Arabs to irrigate the desert?
What do wind machines produce?
They produce electricity in an emissions-free manner.
How can a Designer of solid rocket engines make engines produce different amounts of thrust?
The thrust of a solid rocket engine depends on 3 different values. The first is the rate at which the solid fuel is burned, the second is the composition of the fuel itself, and the third is the way the gas that is coming from the engine is directed by the exhaust nozzles. Therefore as one can see, the exact same material can be burned at very different rates, depending on how much thrust it is producing. So the designer only has to control and slightly change the exhaust nozzles to change the amount of thrust produced by the engine.
What is the term for powering airplane engines?
Jet engines produce thrust. All others produce horsepower.
