Join us for our 25th Virtual ICE Conference, where Porsche AG, MAN Energy Solutions SE, and R&D Computational Fluid Dynamics will present their experiences and achievements from their recent research and in-cylinder simulation activities. This will be complemented by presentations from Oxford Brookes University and Oxford University, who have been actively involved in industrial research projects applying Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-Cylinder solution.

What will be the fuel of the future for Internal Combustion Engines?

Internal combustion engines (ICEs) have been the workhorses of transportation for over a century. However, environmental and governmental pressures are forcing companies to move toward more sustainable transportation! With growing concerns about emissions and fossil fuel dependency, the transportation industry is exploring alternative solutions. Beyond electricity, there’s a world of alternative fuels, including hydrogen, biofuels, renewable diesel, and renewable natural gas.

This free online event will allow you to hear from several engine manufacturers on how they are deploying digitalization to investigate the potential of different fuels to develop engines for the future. In addition, you will learn about the new and upcoming capabilities of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-Cylinder Solution to enable an ICE Engineer to become a Hydrogen Combustion Engine Expert. Register now!
