TU München researchers test behavior of OME synthetic fuels in engines, develop optimized combustion process

Green Car Congress

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is the coordinator of that project, in cooperation with TU Kaiserslautern and TU München. We determined that using this fuel can significantly reduce pollutant emissions. OME made from waste CO 2 and electricity from renewable sources would even be carbon neutral. Earlier post.)
