Trinity, TOTAL researchers design new molecules that boost fuel efficiency

Trinity, TOTAL researchers design new molecules that boost fuel efficiency Researchers from Trinity College Dublin’s and TOTAL have designed, synthesized and tested new additives that increase fuel efficiency. Led by Professor Stephen Dooley in Trinity’s School of Physics, the Trinity researchers undertook the project as a result of an open competition by TOTAL, where their proposal welcomed several applications from research teams across the globe. The research was funded by TOTAL Marketing Services and supported by MaREI, the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine. While the specifics of the work are proprietary to TOTAL and can’t be disclosed, the research team published an open-access paper in the journal

While many moves towards lowering transport emissions have been centred around switching to electric vehicles and hydrogen-powered cars, new research has been exploring the ability to make liquid fuels more efficient. A team of researchers from Trinity College Dublin have designed, synthesised and tested new additives that increase fuel efficiency. Led by Prof Stephen Dooley in Trinity’s School of Physics, the project was funded through an open competition by Total Marketing Services. The research was also supported by MaREI, the SFI Research Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine.
