Combustion Chemistry and the Carbon Neutral Future

As the demands of transitioning to cleaner, more efficient, reduced and zero carbon emitting vehicles increase, the traditional focus of Combustion Chemistry research is stretching and adapting to help provide solutions to these contemporary issues. Combustion Chemistry and the Carbon Free Future presents a guide to current research in the field and an exploration of possible future steps as we move towards cleaner, greener and reduced carbon combustion chemistry. Beginning with a discussion of emissions chemistry and the chemistry of traditional fuel consumption, the book goes on to discuss a range of alternative fuels, including hydrogen, ammonia, small alcohols, and synthesized hydrocarbon fuels. Methods for predicting and improving efficiency and sustainability, such as low temperature and catalytic combustion, chemical looping, and kinetic modelling and monitoring, are then explored.Combining the knowledge and experience of an interdisciplinary team of experts in the field, Combustion Chemistry and the Carbon Free Future is an insightful guide to current and future focus areas for combustion chemistry researchers in line with the transition to greener, cleaner technologies. Provides insight on current developments in combustion chemistry as a tool for supporting a reduced-carbon future Reviews modeling and diagnostic tools, in addition to key approaches and alternative fuels Includes projections for the future from leaders in the field, pointing current and prospective researchers to potentially fruitful areas to explore
