FOCUS:POWERTRAIN AND PROPULSION SAE Fellows share powertrain thoughts Schematic of the High-Pressure Thermochemical Recuperation system. (1) methanol and water mix at high pressure; (2) preheated methanol and water mix; (3) hot reforming products with residues of unreformed methanol and water; (4) cooled reforming products with condensed unreformed methanol and water; (5) cooled gaseous reformate; (6) condensed unreformed methanol and water; (7) hot exhaust gas; (8) cooled exhaust gas. advantages of both ICEs and EVs. E-fuels and advanced alternative fuels could give much faster results for CO2 reductions than EVs because those fuels can really reduce overall emissions on a WTW basis. I am currently a Member of the Advisory Board of Clean Propulsion Technologies project carried out in Finland by 15 consortium partners. transportation at least in the upcoming decades. Low-temperature combustion processes together with novel techniques of waste heat recovery enable achieving both significant efficiency improvement and great NOx and particle emissions reduction. Of course, employment of renewable fuels that will allow meeting future CO2-neutral economy requirements and reducing a need in fossil energy sources will be absolutely necessary. A good example of engineering Leonid Tartakovsky is an associate professor at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. Leonid Tartakovsky, PhD SAE Fellow 2015 I believe that internal combustion engines (ICEs) will stay a main propulsion tool for 28 November 2021 approaches that address all these issues is High-Pressure Thermochemical Recuperation (see schematic layout shown above). It was developed in the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. The method is based on utilization of exhaust gas energy to produce onboard a hydrogen-rich reformate. The latter is combusted in the engine as a stand-alone fuel. The promising electro-fuels, like methanol or dimethyl-ether, can be used as UPDATE
