The Clean Combustion Research Center (CCRC) at
KAUST draws on multiple engineering and science disciplines, all of
which contribute to the improvement of existing combustion technologies,
while allowing to pursue novel and innovative solutions. A key goal of
the Center is to develop simple, cost-effective processes for supplying
clean energy by combustion, partial oxidation, or other means relying on
chemical energy conversion. The Center research agenda includes the
improvement of less conventional processes such as hydrocarbon fuels
gasification in order to obtain hydrogen or hydrogen-rich fuels, while
capturing the carbon for sequestration or use in high value-added
materials.
