DLR-led NEMESIS 2+ project develops compact direct steam reformer for diesel/biodiesel to H2

Green Car Congress

The EU NEMESIS 2+ project, which ran until June 2015, was coordinated by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). During this process, the hydrocarbons in the gas are converted at high temperature into a hydrogen-rich mixture of gases. The efficiency of the process, from start to finish, is approximately 70%. kg/h with an efficiency >80%.)

EU investing >€3M in research into ultra-efficient aero engines; ULTIMATE project

Green Car Congress

The 3-year project, which launched in September 2015, targets radical concepts for new aero engines, in line with the EU’s long-term emissions reduction target for 2050. Adding heat through internal combustion generates considerable entropy. The project is being presented in a paper (Grönstedt et al. ) Click to enlarge.
