The Applied Thermal Energy (ATE) laboratory was established in 2022 and located at Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology with the main goal of studying energy conversion in fuel-consuming equipment and the associated problems in thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, and combustion. The primary focus is on investigating promising ways to improve energy efficiency – specifically, thermochemical exhaust heat recuperation – while also emphasizing the use of carbon-free fuels, such as ammonia.

The main research directions include but are not limited the following:
- thermodynamics, including chemical thermodynamics;
- combustion (experiments and numerical);
- heat and mass transfer (experiments and numerical);
- AI predicted simulations.

PI of Applied Thermal Energy laboratory is Assoc. Prof. Dmitry Pashchenko.
