Near-zero Emissions
Although renewable and sustainable energy production is continuously increasing, several industrial process and transport technologies are still heavily dependent on carbon-based fuels and cannot be replaced completely in the near future. Therefore, due to the rising concerns on global warming, one of the main missions of ITV is to improve current combustion processes towards the so called “near-zero emission” condition. For this reason, prediction and reduction of pollutants and particulate formation (NOx, CO, Soot) are investigated at ITV both numerically and experimentally.
