Clean Engines

Project: Finnish government project

Project Details

Description

New combustion methodologies will be developed for achieving ultra-high efficiency reducing energy consumption and thus also tailpipe CO2 emissions. Combustion systems will be developed for green hydrogen derivative fuels. Research will focus on achieving at least a 30 % increase in engine efficiency compared to state-of-the-art NRMM engines. ​

Scaling-up hydrogen and derivative fuels requires development of aftertreatment systems for removal of harmful emissions from the exhaust. Application areas cover mobile applications such as heavy-duty on-road sector, working machines and marine sector. In addition, non-exhaust emissions will be covered due to their increasing role in transport emissions.
