Advanced alternative ground and air transport fuels from residual lipids - Lipid4fuel

The object of the project is the development of innovative technology for the production of alternative fuels from renewable raw materials and specifically from residual lipids through modern thermochemical processes, with the aim of reducing emissions and enhancing sustainability and sustainability in land and air transport. The Laboratory of Thermal Turbomachines carries out the part of the research that concerns the use of fuels in aircraft gas turbines. The research will include an experimental and a computational part. An experimental investigation of the effect of biofuel on operation and emissions will be conducted in a small gas turbine. Computational models of both the test engine and passenger aircraft engines will be developed, aiming to assess the operational and environmental impacts during the operation of the engines with the examined biofuels.

Project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation under the call RESEARCH–CREATE–INNOVATE. Project code: T2EDK-00034
