Future Research

• Extension of micro-engine research laboratory to include high-speed, small-displacement engine research from 3-50 kW.
• Continued development of the Full Flow Sampling System to accurately quantify non-tailpipe emissions.
  
• Novel engine research including opposed piston linear engines, advanced two-stroke engines, spark-assisted compression ignition.
• Combined heat and power systems and analysis for off-road engines - specifically used in unconventional well development.
• Micro-combined heat and power systems using low-pressure direct injection of propane in both the gaseous and liquid phases. 
• Extension of indirect and direct quantification systems to include other emissions - ethane and particulate matter. 
• Methods to improve the efficiency and reliability of geothermal sources using novel pumping methods. 
• Renewable energy sources.
• Improving energy literacy.
