Co-Optima researchers publish first findings from research initiative

In Tennessee, researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory working alongside the U.S. Department of Energy’s Co-Optimization of Fuel and Engines initiative (Co-Optima) collaborators from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory, determined it’s not so much the chemistry of a fuel that predicts performance, but rather its properties that hold the key to identifying a candidate with the potential for success. The research team published this finding in the journal Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, presenting for the first time comprehensive scientific details on Co-Optima’s initial phase of research.
