Efforts to reduce sulfur emissions from ocean-going transport will improve planetary health as well as the health of coastal societies.

A rain oil lamp provides a breakthrough moment for optimizing the carbon dioxide freezing process in low-temperature carbon-capture technology...

On 1st March the Student Advisory Committee organized a biannual CCRC Town Hall. It started with the conversation with Professor Hong Im and Associate Professor Deanna Lacoste about their career paths. On December 2021 new SAC members were elected for the year 2022. As a sign of appreciation, the Clean Combustion Research Center's director Professor William Roberts handed out as a thank you for the hard work and dedication to the previous 2021

​The rising costs of natural gases continue to prompt governments and industry to seek lower cost fuel alternatives. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for instance, is consuming an increasingly large portion of its own fossil fuels on energy requirements such as air conditioning and water.

Running diesel engines and gas turbines at high pressure to boost power output and efficiency is harmful for the environment. Burning fuel at high pressure can significantly change the soot particles that are produced, William Roberts from the KAUST Clean Combustion Research Center and his team have shown

Abdulrahman Abdullah Alkhateeb, a native of Dammam in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, received his master's degree in mechanical engineering from KAUST in 2014. He is currently a mechanical engineering Ph.D. student in the University's Clean Combustion Research Center (CCRC) working under the supervision of William Roberts, the director of CCRC.

Congratulations Dr. Wesley Boyette for winning "The ASPACC Young Investigator Award" at the12th Asia-Pacific Conference on Combustion held in Fukuoka, Japan on July 4, 2019.

The Clean Combustion Research Center and the Boeing Company have collaborated on research projects since May 2015. The context of these projects is aircraft fire and explosion hazards; and their main objective is to provide a better understanding of the mechanisms involved during these dramatics events.

Ethanol and related gasoline replacement fuels produce fewer smog-causing chemicals.
