F3 F-TRANS: Low CO2 Light Transport Vehicle


addresses the use of Zero CO2 fuels in compression-ignition combustion engines for light transport applications. The Project aims to screen and analyze the raw emission potential of Zero CO2 fuels and other synthetic fuels, the application of a stoichiometric combustion process, the possible simplification and the necessary adaptions of the engine.

  • Screening of combustion properties of several Zero CO2 fuels
  • Detailed assessment of combustion properties for a subset of fuels
  • Development of stoichiometric ("λ=1") compression ignition combustion process
  • Exhaust gas aftertreatment system for stoichiometric combustion engine
  • Exhaust gas aftertreatment for lean combustion engine with Zero CO2 fuels
