Fueling the future
KAUST ·
KAUST's Clean Combustion Research Center (CCRC) has become a global hub for combustion research within four years of its inauguration. The CCRC focuses on developing expertise in efficient, clean, and economical fuel combustion, including a 10-year FUELCOM project with Saudi Aramco. The center utilizes specialized facilities and the KAUST supercomputer Shaheen to test computations and simulations, and also introduced CloudFlame for managing research data. Why it matters: The CCRC's work is crucial for improving the efficiency and sustainability of internal combustion engines, expected to remain relevant for the next 30-40 years.
