Hydrogen fuel cells are electrochemical cells converting the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity. Hydrogen stores about ten times more energy than lithium-ion battery packs, including the weight of the hydrogen tanks. This is one of the reasons why hydrogen is seen as an enabler for electrification of vehicles that could be challenging to electrify using batteries. Such vehicles are typic

District heating and cooling systems distribute heat and cooling from a central location to residential and commercial buildings. Hot water, steam or cold water is produced at a central plant and distributed through a pipe network. These systems can integrate renewable energy sources like waste heat, geothermal energy, biomass, and renewable electricity. They are seen as a key component in reducin

Hydrogen fueled and electrical powertrains are seen as the primary pathways for future sustainable road transport. In our research we focus on hydrogen internal combustion engines. Hydrogen engines offer high efficiency, and the use of hydrogen as fuel means that emissions associated with carbon atoms do not occur. This means that hydrogen engines do not produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hy

Heating & cooling, transportation and agriculture are examples of energy intense sectors that are essential to provide sustainable living conditions, food and societal development according to the UN’s 17 sustainable development goals. Unfortunately, most energy used globally today is still in the form of fuels of fossil origin that in their use lead to unsustainable and negative impact to people,

The transition to a fossil-free society demands new types of energy efficient engines. Even though some of them will be driven by electricity, the combustion engine will remain the prime mover on our roads for the foreseeable future. The Division of Combustion Engines is a long-time leader in new combustion concepts such as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) and Partially Premixed Comb
