Energy is essential to human progress and Australia's economy is built on our energy-intense industry. In the foreseeable future, combustion of hydrocarbon fuels remains a major means of energy utilisation. The challenges are to reduce emissions and improve combustion operability. The outcomes of the present research will provide a scientific basis that enable new combustion and associated emission control technologies to be developed with potential to reduce engine knock, improve efficiency and reduce NOx emissions during the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. This project will also offer an excellent opportunity to develop future combustion scientists and technologies through postgraduate research training.
