Fuel Science Center – FSC

Alternative Fuels

The improvement of the institutional structures of the Cluster of Excellence “Tailor-Made Fuels from Biomass“ as well as the requirement to create a sustainable, jointly used research center was essential for the founding of FSC. With its structure and orientation, the FSC can be assigned to the profile areas “Mobility & Transport Engineering“ – MTE, “Energy, Chemical & Process Engineering, ECPE for short, and “Molecular Science & Engineering“ – MSE.
