        <description><![CDATA[Access to energy is essential for the modern world, yet at the same time, anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are caused by energy-related activities across all sectors due to the predominance of fossil fuels. Today, most of the primary energy is still being provided by fossil fuels, with combustion being a key technology. In order to combat climate change, energy has to be decoupled from greenhouse gas emissions, with electricity and electrification being important pathways towards a net-zero energy system. However, electricity also has drawbacks as an energy carrier, especially in the context of large-scale energy storage, but also for applications requiring high energy densities. This, in addition to providing dispatchable power generation capacities for grid balancing and covering longer periods of reduced renewable power generation, is expected to result in significant contributions of synthetic and biogenic fuels to the energy landscape. The main purpose of combustion-based technologies will change from providing most of the primary energy to the energy system to complementing variable renewable energies when and where needed. This change of purpose has consequences for the directions of combustion research and development: while traditional topics such as equipment efficiency and pollutant emissions such as NOX will still be important, other topics such as more flexible and dynamic operation modes, hybrid applications and system integration will play a much bigger role in the future, along with the use of new fuels such as hydrogen or ammonia.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the context of global warming and the increasing demands for the application of sustainable fuels, measurements of a variety of experimental targets under a wide range of conditions are crucial to improving the fundamental understanding of real jet fuels and developing quality kinetic mechanisms for large hydrocarbons. Planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) is an effective approach to investigate concentrations of important species of a given flame while quantifying the fluorescence image remains a great challenge with significant uncertainties. This investigation aims to improve the fundamental understanding of the oxidation of kerosene-based mixtures at two equivalence ratio conditions. Two gas fuels are utilized as the reference for the quantitative studies. For each flame condition, relative OH and NO quantities and temperature profiles were measured by applying the PLIF and coated fine wire type R Pt/Pt-Rh thermocouples, respectively. The converted OH and NO results were subsequently compared with the simulation by using ANSYS Chemkin Pro, and the results indicate that reliable temperature profiles are the key to accurately quantify the species concentration of a given flame.]]></description>
