Advancing E-Fuel Combustion for a Sustainable Future
DESIRE is an ambitious research initiative focused on unlocking the potential of e-fuels through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates experimental, theoretical, and numerical investigations. By addressing key challenges in chemical kinetics, combustion physics, and real-world applications, DESIRE aims to develop cutting-edge digital twin models for next-generation combustion systems.
Our research is structured into three scientific work packages:
WP1 – Chemical Kinetics Modeling
Developing accurate kinetic models for various e-fuels (NH₃, CH₃OH, H₂, DME, OMEx) to enhance predictive capabilities for combustion performance and emissions control.
WP2 – Physical Processes in Combustion
Investigating turbulence, heat transfer, and spray dynamics to refine combustion modeling across industrial applications.
WP3 – Applications and Feasibility
Assessing the real-world integration of e-fuels in power generation, industrial heating, and transportation, considering both technological and economic impacts.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101169263.
