We are delighted to congratulate the winners of our conference awards at the 12th International Conference on Fuel Science! ✨ In the presentation category, Carina Michel and Christopher Weike impressed us all with their insightful presentation titled "A Combined Bio/Chemical Catalytic Route from CO2 to Bio-Hybrid Fuels." Their innovative approach and impeccable work truly stood out. In the poster category, the award went to Fabian Müller, whose exceptional poster showcased groundbreaking research on „Identifying the active species in the CO2 hydrogenation to alcohols“. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Carina, Christopher, and Fabian for their remarkable contributions to the field of fuel science. We hope to see them continue their brilliant work at our next conference! Next year, the opportunity to win these prestigious awards will be open again. We encourage all participants to share their cutting-edge research and join us in celebrating excellence in fuel science. Stay tuned for more details! 📸 René Büttgen | FSC 2024 #fsc #rwth #fuelscience #fuelsciencenter #aachen #university #clusterofexcellence #innovation #Inspiration #ConferenceRecap 

We're excited to share a groundbreaking development in renewable fuels! Researchers from RWTH Aachen University, the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion, and ETH Zürich, including Walter Leitner and André Bardow, have developed HyFiT, a new synthetic fuel. 🚀🔋 HyFiT fuels can be used directly in today's engines, significantly reducing particulate matter and nitrogen oxides emissions. Produced from renewable resources like green electricity, water, biomass, and CO₂, these fuels close the carbon cycle and utilize existing industrial infrastructure. Our study shows HyFiT fuels have a superior environmental profile, outperforming even battery-based technologies, especially over long distances. This innovation marks a significant step toward sustainable, carbon-neutral transportation.

A new project within the FSC by Abhishek Khetan and GUNJANA YADAV takes an innovative approach to the use of #ammonia as a fuel.  A detailed description of the activity in N2O decomposition was recently published in the journal "Catalysis Today". 📰🎉 #fuelscience #fuelsciencecenter #fsc #sustainability #propulsionsystems #innovation

Highlights from the 12th International Conference on Fuel Science 🌟 Two weeks ago, we hosted the 12th International Conference on Fuel Science, and it was a resounding success. One of the key features was the presentation of over 50 posters, each showcasing innovative research and ideas. 🌍🔬 The poster party at the end of the first day provided a relaxed atmosphere to discuss the posters, various presentations, and to connect with fellow attendees. This event was a valuable opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and foster new professional relationships. Stay tuned as we share more highlights and insights in the coming weeks. 🚀✨ 📸 René Büttgen | FSC 2024 #fsc #rwth #fuelscience #fuelsciencenter #aachen #university #clusterofexcellence #innovation #Inspiration #ConferenceRecap

New publication alert! 📢 Nils Weber and co-workers present a continuous flow reactor that allows for characterization of tubular gas diffusion electrodes under different flow conditions! Combining 3D printed tubular copper electrodes for CO2 electroreduction with tubular membrane electrode assemblies on the anode side, the reactor enables to manipulate the reaction environment. 💡 This in turn has an impact on mass transport of reactive species, thereby yielding different product distributions and affecting electrochemical performance! 💬 #fuelscience #fuelsciencecenter #fsc #sustainability #propulsionsystems #innovation

🔝 Spitzenforschung Forschung „made in NRW“ präsentiert sich im Landtag! 👩🔬 👨🔬 Spitzenforscherinnen und -forscher aus Nordrhein-Westfalen haben vergangene Woche ihre Arbeit in der Bürgerhalle des Düsseldorfer Landtags vorgestellt. Nordrhein-Westfalen ist aktuell in der Exzellenzstrategie bundesweit das erfolgreichste Land. Von 57 bereits geförderten Exzellenzclustern entfallen 14 auf Nordrhein-Westfalen.   💬 Wissenschaftsministerin Ina Brandes: „Die Vielfalt und Exzellenz der Forschungslandschaft in Nordrhein-Westfalen ist einzigartig: 14 von bundesweit 57 Exzellenzclustern sind in Nordrhein-Westfalen zu Hause. Hier arbeiten die klügsten Köpfe daran, die großen Herausforderungen der Zukunft zu meistern, etwa den Kampf gegen die Volkskrankheiten, intelligente Mobilitätslösungen und ressourcenschonende Nutzung von Energie. Die Landesregierung unterstützt die Hochschulen nach Kräften bei ihren Bewerbungen um Exzellenzcluster. Mit Forschung und Lehre auf Champions-League-Niveau stärken wir den Wissenschaftsstandort Nordrhein-Westfalen.“ Die 1️⃣4️⃣ Cluster aus Nordrhein-Westfalen im Überblick: Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies (BCDSS) Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn   CASA - Cluster of Excellence Ruhr-Universität Bochum CECAD Cologne Universität zu Köln CEPLAS - Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf Universität zu Köln ECONtribute: Markets & Public Policy Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Universität zu Köln The Fuel Science Center RWTH Aachen University   Hausdorff Center for Mathematics Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn   Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation - University of Bonn Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn   Cluster of Excellence "Internet of Production" RWTH Aachen University Mathematik Münster - Dynamik – Geometrie – Struktur Universität Münster   ML4Q | Matter and Light for Quantum Computing Universität zu Köln RWTH Aachen University Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Cluster of Excellence "PhenoRob" Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn   Religion und Politik - Dynamiken von Tradition und Innovation Universität Münster   Cluster of Excellence RESOLV Ruhr-Universität Bochum Technische Universität Dortmund
