Combustion Chemistry and the Carbon Neutral Future: What will the Next 25 Years of Research Require?

Combustion Chemistry and the Carbon Free Future: What will the Next 25 Years of Research Require? presents a guide to current research in the field and an exploration of possible future steps as we move towards cleaner, greener and reduced carbon combustion chemistry. Beginning with a discussion of emissions chemistry and the chemistry of traditional fuel consumption, the book goes on to discuss a range of alternative fuels, including hydrogen, ammonia, small alcohols, and synthesized hydrocarbon fuels. Methods for predicting and improving efficiency and sustainability, such as low temperature and catalytic combustion, chemical looping, and kinetic modelling and monitoring are then explored. Combining the knowledge and experience of an interdisciplinary team of experts in the field, this book is an insightful guide to current and future focus areas for combustion chemistry researchers in line with the transition to greener and cleaner technologies. Provides insight on current developments in combustion chemistry as a tool for supporting a reduced-carbon future Reviews modeling and diagnostic tools, in addition to key approaches and alternative fuels Includes projections for the future from leaders in the field, pointing current and prospective researchers to potentially fruitful areas for exploration INDICE: 1.
