METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EMISSION CONTROL DEVICE HEATING

Methods and systems are provided for expediting emission control device heating. In one example, a method may include flowing air from an intake of an engine to one or more emission control devices via an air injection system while operating a turbocharger via an electric motor to maintain a desired airflow to the engine in response to an emission control device heating condition. In this way, fresh air is provided to the one or more emission control devices without degrading engine performance or increasing engine speed.
