Using AI to boost the Energy transition
As renewable fuels enter the market, their blending with existing components must be understood to facilitate their integration into existing infrastructure. Borne out of this necessity, the Digifuels project (a collaboration between Neste and Aalto’s Research Group of Energy Conversion and Systems) took on the task to build a robust fuel blend property prediction pipeline that could work with real refinery data. This seminar will share the key findings of Digifuels work package 1 – both in terms of science and of managing a successful industrial collaboration. In addition, the seminar will briefly cover other data-driven efforts in the group related to future fuels.
