Der Exzellenzcluster Tailor-Made Fuels from Biomass (Maßgeschneiderte Kraftstoffe aus Biomasse) nutzt einen interdisziplinären Ansatz unter Verwendung optimierter Syntheseprozesse zur Erforschung neuer, auf Biomasse basierender, synthetischer Kraftstoffe, um das Potenzial hinsichtlich moderner verbrennungsmotorischer Technologien zu bestimmen und gleichzeitig die Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energien

zu verringern. Das langfristige Ziel ist die Bestimmung einer optimalen Kombination von Kraftstoffkomponenten, die auf nachwachsenden Rohstoffen basieren, deren Herstellungsprozessen und neuen Verbrennungsprozessen. Der Exzellenzcluster ist darauf ausgerichtet, innovative Lösungen für die gezielte Umwandlung der Hauptbestandteile des Pflanzenmaterials in wertgesteigerte Produkte speziell für Kraftstoffe sowie Kraftstoffkomponenten als die technisch wichtigste und wissenschaftlich anspruchsvollste Anwendung zu finden. Die Umwandlung von Biomaterialien in maßgeschneiderte Kraftstoffe und die Definition von optimalen Kraftstoffeigenschaften auf einer makroskopischen und molekularen Ebene stellen eine große Herausforderung für die Chemo- und Biokatalyse, die Prozesstechnik, die Verbrennungsforschung sowie die Motorenentwicklung dar. Die Interdisziplinarität des verfolgten Ansatzes ist der Schlüssel zu einer ganzheitlichen und nachhaltigen Lösung für den zukünftigen Kraftfahrzeugverkehr, der von grundlegender Bedeutung für eine moderne Gesellschaft ist.

👥 The first day of our conference is in full swing and we are delighted to welcome so many new and familiar faces.

Our 12th International Conference "Fuel Science: From Production to Propulsion" was opened by RWTH Aachen University Rector Prof. Ulrich Rüdiger with a speech on the importance of research into sustainable fuels.

Followed by an introduction by Prof. Stefan Pischinger and our first keynotes of the day - Robert Franke from Evonik Industries and Toine Cents from Sasol Limited.

Today's presentations in the areas of System Perspective, High Power Applications, Bio-Hybrid Fuels and Emission Formation & Aftertreatment will be rounded off this evening by our Poster Party. 🥳

💬 We are looking forward to all the presentations that are still to come and are looking forward to the discussions that we can have in between.

🌟 TV Tipp 🌟

Prof. Jürgen Klankermayer, professor at the Chair of Translational Molecular Catalysis at RWTH Aachen University and at the Cluster of Excellence "The Fuel Science Center" - FSC, was featured on WDR's Aktuelle Stunde this past weekend! 📺🎉

The key topic he touched upon was the development of HV0 Diesel, a revolutionary advancement in the realm of alternative fuels. 💡🛢️ HV0 Diesel holds immense promise in reducing emissions and fostering a more sustainable future for transportation. A topic that we at FSC are also researching as part of our work on e-fuels. 🌱❤️

For those who missed it, you can catch the segment on Aktuelle Stunde from May 5th, 2024, starting from minute 30. 🕒
