Extend or corroborate the know-how on characterization of particulate emissions from marine engines - total mass, size distribution and composition along with toxicological tests - and their dependence on parameters such as fuels and engine settings
Develop models of soot and particulate formation mechanisms including classification of different sources for various fuel qualities
Evaluate and further develop SOx and particulate matter removal technologies
Develop and optimise engine-integrated SCR systems
Investigate alternative NOx reduction concepts for emissions reductions beyond 60%, on the basis of the further development of "wet", as well as, "dry" methods and their combinations
Demonstrate ultra-low emissions concepts applicable to marine engines
