The “Flightpath 2050” report documents Europe’s vision for aviation to achieve a drastic reduction in pollutant emissions of CO2 and NOx, as well as emitted noise. The fuel change from kerosene to hydrogen is considered as a step closer towards the goal of decarbonization. The project “Greener-RQL” which started at the Professorship of Sustainable Future Mobility in July 2022 supports the… [read more]

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME) are promising e-fuels for diesel engines, combining carbon-neutral production and low-emission engine operation by virtue of soot-free combustion. The emissions of diesel engines fueled with OME and in blends with diesel have been studied extensively using single-cylinder research engines under laboratory conditions. Emissions from a series engine using an… [read more]
