Meet the Scientist.

Renewable fuels.

The number of vehicles on Germany's roads continues to rise and freight transport is also steadily increasing. As a result, the transport sector is not producing fewer, but more and more emissions. How can we still manage to reduce these as far as possible by 2045 and thus meet our climate targets?

We look forward to welcoming Max Schüttenhelm to the exhibition on 4 January 2024. In addition to electromobility, Max Schüttenhelm is researching the composition of renewable fuels and their possible applications at Volkswagen in cooperation with TU Dresden.

What is Meet the Scientist?

The Meet the Scientist format offers a look behind the scenes of science. Get to know researchers personally, ask them your questions and find out more about the background, challenges and goals of their work. Meet the Scientist at phaeno, find out more about the research project, ask questions about everyday working life, in the lab and at your desk. Experience science up close and find out what contribution it is making to a climate-neutral future

Come along, the offer is included in the admission price.

Max Schüttenhelm

Max Schüttenhelm studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Dresden. After internships at VOLKE and MAN Truck, he dedicated his diploma thesis to the topic of "Regenerative Fuels" at Volkswagen AG in co-operation with the Institute of Automotive Engineering at TU Dresden. He is currently working on his dissertation: "Experimental investigation of fuels with different methanol proportions in a direct-injection turbocharged petrol engine".
