Fuel research

New fuels need to enable reliable engine operation, be compatible with the materials of the engine and the fuel system, and meet emission regulations. We conduct research in fuel properties to ensure that the future fuels will comply with the requirements, are safe to use and present environmentally sustainable solutions. Special focus lies on fuel blends in advanced combustion concepts.

The University of Vaasa Fuel subgroup has experience in e.g. fuel regulations, fuel additive research and evaluation of alternative fuel options in different engine applications. Fuel research can easily be extended to full-scale engine experiments in our engine laboratories.

For industrial partners we can offer solutions for fuel related issues from analysing single samples to conducting larger customer projects.

We offer comprehensive problem solving by helping to find suitable analysis methods, consultation as well as education.
