Poly (oxymethylene) dimethyl ethers (OME) are interesting synthetic fuels that could replace
fossil diesel fuel. Therefore, economic routes for OME production have to be developed. One …

Oxymethylene ethers (OME) are a type of synthetic diesel fuel with particularly beneficial
emission characteristics, caused by the presence of oxygen in the molecule. A production …

Automotive Engineering Stuttgart at the University of Stuttgart under the direction of Prof. Dr …

Abstract The European Commission has released strict emission regulations for passenger
cars in the past decade in order to improve air quality in cities and limit harmful emission …

To minimize the impact of global warming worldwide, net greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions
have to be reduced. The transportation sector is one main contributor to overall greenhouse …

On the way to a climate-neutral mobility, synthetic fuels with their potential of CO2-neutral
production are currently in the focus of internal combustion research. In this study, the C1 …

The continuous pursuit of higher combustion efficien-cies, as well as the possible usage of
synthetic fuels with different properties than fossil-ones, require reliable and low-cost …

Future emission regulations require further develop-ment for internal combustion engines
operating on gasoline. To comply with such regulations and simultaneously improve fuel …
