KIT researchers are working on new technologies that establish renewable resources as an alternative to fossil fuels. The initiative "reFuels - Rethinking Fuels", for example, researches sustainable fuels for everyday mobility.

Conventional fuels such as diesel and petrol emit too many pollutants and damage the climate. But what technology will be under the bonnet in the future? A contribution of the Helmholtz Association with Thomas Koch from the Institute of Internal Combustion Engines of KIT.

In his speech in the Bundesrat, the State Transport Minister, Winfried Hermann, talks about the relevance of regenerative fuels for the reduction of CO₂ emissions and the achievement of climate protection targets.

They already exist: CO₂-neutral fuels to replace diesel and petrol. How are they made? And which engines can be operated with them?
