Jasper Kole Wins Kooy Prize for Methanol Engine Research
Jasper Kole received the Prof. Kooy Prize for his thesis on methanol engine dynamics, emphasizing its relevance to Defence fuel strategies.

Jasper Kole was awarded the Prof. Kooy Prize on April 8 for his thesis titled "The dynamic behaviour of a two-stage turbocharged marine engine under diesel and methanol-diesel dual fuel operation." His research, conducted for the Bureau of Marine Engineering under COMMIT, showed that methanol engines can achieve dynamic performance comparable to diesel engines.
The annual Kooy Symposium addressed European defense themes, and the prize, worth EUR 2000, is aimed at promoting technology relevant to Defence and Security. The findings underscore the potential of methanol as an alternative fuel, aligning with strategic priorities to reduce fossil fuel dependency. This research fills significant knowledge gaps in engine performance, indicating a pathway towards sustainable military operations.
