Catalytic element with inductive heater

A method comprising:

• introducing a gas into an inlet of an emissions control device, the emissions control device comprising:
• a housing comprising the inlet and an outlet;
• an inductive heater disposed within the housing;
• a conductive layer disposed within the housing radially outside of the inductive heater, wherein the conductive layer is gas permeable and thermally conductive;
• and
• a catalytic layer disposed within the housing around the conductive layer, wherein the catalytic layer comprises inorganic fibers and a catalyst;
• wherein the catalytic layer forms a permeable seal between the inlet and the outlet;
• using the inductive heater, heating the conductive layer;
• transferring heat from the conductive layer to the catalytic layer or the gas via conduction, convection, and/or radiation;
• catalytically oxidizing or reducing components of the gas at the catalytic layer;
• and
• exhausting the oxidized or reduced gas through the outlet of the emissions control device.
