An additive for conventional fuel comprised of oxygenated organic compounds could help reduce the release of pollutants into the atmosphere during the combustion of fossil fuels. Researchers from KAUST have now established how these potential additives decompose under combustion-relevant conditions.

​New technique lays the foundation for greener transport fuels and next generation engines.

The latest cohort of promoted KAUST faculty represents the University’s intellectual contribution to pursue collaborative research and education that advances new knowledge and discovery.

​Combustion Chemistry for Alkenes: what have we learned from butene isomers​?

​Simple two-component mixtures are good surrogates for studying the ignition properties of next-generation gasolines. A collaboration between KAUST and Saudi Aramco scientists to test future fuels could bring a new era of highly efficient gasoline engines.​​

Twenty undergraduate students from the University of Electronic Science and Technology (UESTC) of China visited KAUST for a Winter Camp from January 28 to February 4.

On, April 13, the Chemical Kinetics group was pleased to host Prof. Bela Viskolcz at the KAUST campus. He gave a talk on “Molecular Network” to the students of CCRC while he was here.

A recent study by a group of CCRC researchers have found that glycerol carbonate (GC) has great potential for cleaner combustion as a fuel additive. The resulting paper was published as the cover of Sustainable Energy & Fuels journal.​
