CO2 reduction through automotive biocomponent enabling and sustainable step changes in fuels and lubricants performance

Objetivo

EU environmental policies on local air quality, climate change and sustainability are continually bringing changes to fuel and lubricant products via Fuel Directives. This proposed industry-academia interchange addresses key step changes necessary to reali se EU targets by enabling the use of bio-components and by improving combustion and lubrication efficiency. The optimization of fuel composition (including effective biofuel introduction) is critical for automotive engine and catalyst technologies for the period 2010-2020. Understanding lubricant oxidation behaviour is key to improving engine and machine efficiency. The modeling of oxidation kinetics, the thread that underpins this proposal, is the common scientific fundamental for fuel and lubricant scien ce. Long-term collaborative relationships will be established between Shell Global Solutions, the coordinating host organisation (at their two research sites in Chester and Hamburg) and eight partner universities (Dublin, Eindhoven, Heidelberg, Istanbul, L ulea, Napoli, Stockholm and Thessaloniki). This will link their collective combustion and lubrication scientific knowledge directly with Shell GS' longstanding R and D capability in fuel and lubricant formulation. In the first two years, experienced univer sity researchers will participate in multi-disciplinary R and D projectscarried out at Shell GS. An annual one-week workshop will bring together all the participants (researchers, industrial and university supervisors, and an advisory board), enabling new technical synergies to be established. Industry approaches to the commercialization of knowledge will be conveyed to each university via an annual two-week visit by a senior Shell researcher. To demonstrate commitment to a durable collaboration, Shell GS w ill pay for services equivalent to the cost of the researchers' reintegration year. This will assist the universities in the provision of future research services in this field
