Ethanol steam reforming under engine exhaust-like conditions: energy recovery of reformate and coke-to-power integrated approach

Ethanol steam reforming (ESR) was evaluated as an on-board energy recovery strategy for internal combustion engines under engine exhaust-like conditions using a bench-scale reactor and two catalysts: a commercial Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst promoted with CaO and K₂O, and a Co catalyst supp...

Bridging Bioethanol and Diesel Engines: Real-World Performance of a Higher-Alcohol Derived from Catalytic Conversion of Bioethanol

This work assesses the real-world performance and emission characteristics of a compression-ignition (CI) engine fuelled with a blend of conventional diesel and a bioethanol-derived higher-alcohol fuel (Catalyxx C4+), evaluated under the World Harmonized Light-Duty Vehicle Test C...
