Hydrogen Engines
Hydrogen fueled and electrical powertrains are seen as the primary pathways for future sustainable road transport. In our research we focus on hydrogen internal combustion engines. Hydrogen engines offer high efficiency, and the use of hydrogen as fuel means that emissions associated with carbon atoms do not occur.
This means that hydrogen engines do not produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, or soot. Although many benefits the usage of hydrogen in a combustion engine has its challenges.
Our primary goal is to gain fundamental understanding of the combustion behavior to improve fuel efficiency and lower harmful emissions in a local and global perspective. To do this, we use state of the art research engines, allowing both status quo conditions but also where we can push the boundaries for possible future applications. A core technic and expertise is our optically accessible research engines, where we can use high speed video in combination with laser diagnostic to capture the most complex combustion behaviors in the cylinder, allowing us to gain knowledge and understanding that can support industry to produce fuel efficient and more sustainable vehicles.
