Project Details

Current global efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions have urged the need for essential steps towards independence from fossil fuels. China has pledged to achieve a carbon-neutrality by 2060, and in this effort, the group focuses on alternative solutions for power generation and marine applications. The research activities will include alternative fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels and synthetic fuels combustion to power compression- and spark-ignited internal combustion engines. The work will consist of experimental testing on brand new engine testbeds and simulation analysis of combustion fundamentals and air path systems.
