CoMeBust-Me
Research Project, 2022 – 2024

Purpose and goal
The purpose of the CoMeBust-Me project is to create applicable products through a combination of academic research and industrial development that enable cost-effective conversion of onshore and marine internal combustion engines from fossil oil-based fuels to methanol. The concrete goal of the project is to develop, install and verify products that can cost-effectively replace fossil fuels with methanol in conventional diesel engines.

Expected results and effects
The goal of the "Dual Fuel" concept is that at least 50% of the diesel fuel can be replaced with methanol, the hope is that 70% replacement rate will be achieved. The goal of the pre-chamber concept is for the engine to be able to run on 100% methanol and meet today´s emission requirements without exhaust gas after treatment
