Apocalypse Cow
No, this is not a movie by Francis Ford Noppola. This is real.
This sympathetic animal, grazing peacefully somewhere on the green Austrian landscapes, is pointed out by the IPCC [ref: Climate Change 2014] as a significant methane producer. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. Ranked second after carbon dioxide in terms of emission volume, its warm-up effect over a century would be 28 times worse than CO2, compared by mass.

Learning by doing: if the specs of borosilicate glass indicate temperatures of use up to 1500 degrees C, the softening temperature is actually 825 degrees C. This is the beginning of our career as glassblowers apparently :)
Good Vibes Beat Bad Gas
(conference talk, paper GT2015-42377)
10% less fuel consumption versus conventional for the disposal of gases with low heat value. This was the main result of the MethaNull study presented at the ASME Turbo Expo 2015!
See, size and seize the flame: the emotion project
Combustion Bay One.e.U. works currently in co-operation with FH Joanneum/Aviation on the development of an embedded optical sensor for real-time monitoring of the flame condition in aeroengine combustors.
This feasibility study is financed by the Take-Off programme from the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG).
The very promising first results will soon be presented at the following conference:
