We at TU/e strongly believe that we can revolutionize the combustion engine for the 21st century.
Jeroen, why do you believe it's too early to write off the combustion engine? It explains why many researchers working on sustainable power generation want to look beyond combustion as a means of producing energy. However, environmental concerns about harmful CO 2 and nitrogen oxide emissions have transformed this fossil fuel-driven engine into a suspect legacy, often mentioned in the same breath as coal-fired power stations. Combustion engines, both internal (diesel and gasoline) or external (steam), have long been the drivers of the modern world as we know it.
