Engine Laboratory - Testing of Alternative Fuels and Emissions Equipment

Get independent testing and documentation for fuels, emissions, and engine technologies

Are you developing new fuels, engine components, sensors, or emissions monitoring equipment for the engines of tomorrow? The green transition imposes new demands on documentation, performance, and environmental impact – requiring testing under realistic, controlled conditions.

At the Danish Technological Institute, we help companies test, develop, and document solutions for future engine and fuel technologies.

Typical challenges faced by our customers include:

Emissions documentation: How do you document the environmental impact of new fuels or engine technologies?
Testing alternative fuels: How do ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, methane, or drop-in fuels perform in practice?
Developing measurement equipment: How do sensors and emissions monitoring equipment perform under realistic operating conditions?
Optimizing combustion: How can combustion quality, efficiency, and engine control be improved?
Benchmarking: How does your solution compare to reference fuels or competing technologies?

In our accredited engine facility, you can test fuels, equipment, and combustion concepts under realistic and controlled conditions. Tests are conducted on a heavy-duty 9-litre Scania engine, where a single cylinder can be operated independently. This reduces fuel consumption, ensuring a more cost-effective and controlled testing process.

As a GTS institute (an independent Research and Technology Organization), the Danish Technological Institute is an impartial partner with extensive expertise in testing, documentation, and development. We help you translate technical challenges into measurable results for use in development, documentation, and decision-making processes.

What can you test in our engine facility?

We always tailor the testing process to your specific needs, offering testing, development, and demonstration in areas such as:

Alternative fuels: Testing of ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, methane, alcohols, diesel, and drop-in fuels, among others.
Emissions monitoring equipment: Testing, development, and validation of emissions equipment and measurement technologies under realistic operating conditions.
Sensors and measurement equipment: Testing of sensors and measuring instruments related to engine operation.
After-treatment systems: Testing and development of catalysts, particulate filters, and other exhaust gas cleaning systems.
Combustion quality: Evaluation of combustion processes, efficiency, and performance compared to reference fuels.
Benchmarking: Comparison of different types of measurement equipment, fuels, or technologies to help you choose the right solution.

Alternative fuels

Our engine facility can handle a wide range of fuels, including:

Diesel
Drop-in fuels
Ammonia (including with hydrogen addition)
Methanol and other alcohols
Hydrogen
Methane

For non-self-igniting fuels, pilot diesel can be used as an ignition source.
