New paper “Optimized Emission Analysis in Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines: Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Innovations and Exhaust Humidity Analysis”

FTIR exhaust measurement systems are powerful tools for the investigation of pollutant emissions and performance of combustion engines. This method is especially useful for alternative fuels, as it allows precise quantification of regulated and non-regulated emissions. Limiting, however, is the fact that the method is not sensitive for H2 and it suffers from heavy cross-sensitivities with water…

Research stay from our partner institute Webber Energy Group

To continue our collaboration with The University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Emily Beagle, Research Associate and Lecturer at the Webber Energy Group, visited the Chair of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems during the summer.

Event: Energizing the Future – Battery and Hydrogen Research at TUM

On September 24th 2024 the ECS Student Chapter Munich will stage a TUM-internal conference with focus on Battery and Hydrogen related research.

Tests with 100% Fischer-Tropsch kerosene on helicopter engine

In July 2024, tests are carried out on the Allison 250 C20B helicopter engine with 100% pure Fischer-Tropsch kerosene (FT-SPK) to investigate the influence of synthetic kerosene on the emissions.

New publication on techno-economic analysis and comparison of Fischer-Tropsch and Methanol-to-Jet Power-to-Liquid processes to produce sustainable aviation fuels

The article of the Chair of Energy Systems published in "Energy Conversion and Management" examines the production of sustainable aviation fuels from water and CO2 from the ambient air via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and Methanol-to-Jet using process simulations and a techno-economic comparison based on the process models. Carbon and energy efficiencies as well as specific production costs are…

Presentation on SAF at the Munich Aerospace Forum on June 27, 2024

Why is aviation important for the 1.5-degree target and how can the decarbonization of aviation be successful? These and other questions relating to sustainable aviation fuels will be discussed at the Munich Aerospace Forum on June 27.

Modeling of H2 tanks for trucks - new publication at the Institute of Plant and Process Technology

In the latest paper of the "CryoTRUCK" team from the Institute of Plant and Process Technology, a generalized thermodynamic model for cryogenic hydrogen storage in heavy-duty trucks is presented. The model enables the simulation of all typical operating conditions, including those in the two-phase region, and thus the comparison of different physical hydrogen storage processes for usage in trucks.

Foundation of the TUM.Hydrogen and PtX network

In April 2019, the TUM.Hydrogen and PtX Network was officially launched to pool expertise in the field of power-to-X and hydrogen production at TUM and to facilitate scientific exchange.
