The demand for cleaner, more efficient, reduced, and zero-carbon-emitting transportation is on the rise, necessitating a stretching and adaptation of traditional Combustion Chemistry research to provide solutions to these contemporary challenges. In response, Combustion Chemistry and the Carbon Neutral Future: What will the Next 25 Years of Research Require? presents a comprehensive guide to current research in the field and explores potential future steps as we strive towards cleaner, greener, and reduced carbon combustion chemistry.

The book begins by delving into engine emissions and soot, discussing various alternative fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, small alcohols, bio-oxygenates, natural gas, syngas, and synthesized hydrocarbon fuels. It also explores methods for predicting and improving efficiency and sustainability, including low-temperature and catalytic combustion, chemical looping, supercritical fluid combustion, and diagnostic monitoring even at high pressure. Additionally, the book covers some novel aspects of biomass-derived aviation fuels and combustion synthesis.

Combining the knowledge and expertise of an interdisciplinary team of experts in the field, Combustion Chemistry and the Carbon Neutral Future: What will the Next 25 Years of Research Require? serves as an insightful guide to current and future focus areas for combustion chemistry researchers aligned with the transition towards greener, cleaner technologies.
