Overview
Zero-carbon fuels, e-fuels, and biofuels are essential for achieving global climate goals by providing sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. They play a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions across various sectors, including transportation, industry, and energy production, thereby helping to mitigate climate change and transition towards a carbon-neutral future.
Key Facts
Understanding the reaction pathways, ignition characteristics, and pollutant formation of these fuels is essential for developing efficient engines and minimizing emissions, ensuring that these sustainable alternatives can be effectively integrated into existing and future energy systems. In this project, the student will investigate physical, chemical, ignition and pollutant characteristis of candidate fuels. Machine-learning baesd methods will be used in this Zero-carbon Fuels, e-Fuels and Biofuels - Analysis, Experiments and Modelling (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) to predict fuel properties and propose optimal fuel composition.
