Project objectives

Development of an ‘intelligent’ injection system for detecting fluctuating fuel qualities

• CO2 reduction in existing large engines through the use of CO2-neutral, electricity-based fuels (e-fuels)
• Availability of e-fuels varies greatly in the introductory stage
• Engine control optimised for standard fuel

► E-fuel potential not fully exploited

Contribution of the University of Rostock

• Evaluation of the chemical and physical fuel properties using selected e-fuel/diesel blends
• Investigation of the influences of e-fuels on the engine
• combustion and emission formation in a large single-cylinder engine
• Evaluation of the potential of e-fuels through adapted engine control
