EARPA welcomes again a new member this year: the Brunel University London. In automotive and power-train engineering Brunel has particular strengths in improving the fuel efficiency and reducing the running costs of existing engines using regenerative braking. Brunel also uses unique methodologies for the study of combustion and fuels which involve marrying experimental and modelling methods and the utilization of advanced optical diagnostics. Brunel has particular interests in developing efficient bio-fuel supply chains, as well as a number of novel technologies for manufacturing biofuel from industrial waste.
