On the hunt for the transition point

How many more warning signs do we need before we commit more wholeheartedly to sustainable fuels?

At the start of this century, our fear was peak oil. And rightly so. Historic oil-producing regions such as Montana were heralding the end of operations for many oil derricks. Malthusian thinking was making a major comeback, fuelled by fears of a global population explosion devouring its resources. We were afraid of suffering the fate of Easter Island, or, to be more in keeping with the times, a Mad Max-style fate.

Patent AT528115B1: CBOne invents ... the knitted combustor!

We are proud to announce that our sixth invention has been patented under the number AT528115B1. It involves connecting flowing shapes with the thermodynamics of two fluids: one flowing within the shape and one flowing outside it, as in a heat exchanger, for example. This includes the novel Mathematics To Shape approach that you can also find on our matosha website.

Our presentation at SoTic 2025

CBOne is attending the 2025 Symposium on Thermoacoustics in Combustion, in Trondheim, Norway, 8-11 September 2025 - where we will present our recent works carried out with the Siren E (energy) model. This will allow us to highlight the key features of this proprietary technology and its use in two combustion cases: one where thermoacoustic coupling is desired to enhance the combustion performance (BLUETIFUEL study) and one where it is feared (MOeBIUS.H study).

10 Years FFG-CBOne

Ten Years with a Partner is Something One Must celebrate! 

Research and development is in CBOne's DNA. For the past ten years, we have used Austrian public funding via FFG to make significant achievements in combustion technology. The following series of postcards highlights moments, ideas, and the aesthetics of shapes we liked from a project.

 

The team is on fire!

2024-2025 marked the first significant increase in staff since the pandemic. The number of people working for CBOne has doubled. This paragraph is dedicated to all those who drive CBOne forward every day.

CBOne has an industrial vision with two main objectives. The first is to enhance conventional combustion techniques through innovation and optimisation of methods and equipment. The second is to ensure the long-term viability of combustion. This can be done by turning to fuels of the future. Examples of such fuels include hydrogen.

This may sound simple, but it is not. Those who work with us (in the team, or in common projects) must embody a certain culture and passion. These two factors drive us forward.

A big thank you to my wonderful team and colleagues! Have a great end of the year, and see you next year, in great shape! Together, we're going to score some points!
