The event is a special forum for both industry and academia in the field of combustion science and technology in Finland. This year’s proceedings will be primarily held in English, with Finnish and Swedish presentations as optional. The event will be co-chaired by Vesna Barisic from Sumitomo SHI FW and Sonja Enestam from Valmet Technologies Oy and the theme for this year, which coincides with the 70th anniversary of the IFRF, is “Resourceful industrial combustion: efficient, clean and safe.”

The organising committee is seeking contributions in the following tracks:

• REACTION KINETICS and COMBUSTION CHEMISTRY, including the kinetics of hydrocarbons and oxygenated fuels, formation of gaseous pollutants, elementary reactions, mechanism generation, reduction and uncertainty quantification.
• DIAGNOSTICS including the development and application of diagnostic techniques and sensors for the understanding and control of combustion and reacting flow phenomena.
• SOLID FUEL COMBUSTION including fundamental aspects related to pyrolysis, oxidation, gasification, and ash formation from coal, biomass, and wastes, as well as combustion of propellants and metals and emissions and flue gas cleaning system.
• HETERAGENOUS and SPRAY COMBUSTION including atomisation, combustion of droplets, sprays, and non-conventional fluids.
• INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES including device specific aspects of fuels research, emissions, direct injection, and combustion dynamics.
• Other NOVEL CONCEPTS, TECHNOLOGIES and SYSTEMS.

Abstracts contributions should include a minimum of 250 words, Please list all authors of the work and their affiliation clearly, as well as which track that you would like it to be part of. Contributions should be submitted through this (Link).
