2017年发布的《汽车产业中长期发展规划》指出要大力发展汽车先进技术，形成新能源汽车、智能网联汽车和先进节能汽车梯次合理的产业格局，引领汽车产业转型升级。先进能源和燃烧技术研究所将在高效内燃机、替代能源利用和尾气后处理等领域，开展能源高效利用技术和燃烧技术基础研究，促进汽车节能环保技术的发展。
先进能源和燃烧技术研究所将以柴油机性能和排放测试平台、内燃机涡轮增压器性能实验台、内燃机燃烧诊断及模拟分析综合平台和热动实验室相关实验设备为研究基础，主要研究方向包括：高效内燃机的节能减排、燃烧诊断、火焰动力学和高效清洁燃烧和燃烧安全基础研究等。
近年来，相关研究人员在内燃机清洁燃烧、层流火焰特性、燃烧反应动力学、排放控制、新能源高效利用和燃烧安全等领域开展应用基础研究，取得了一些研究成果。目前正在承担3项国家自然基金项目、5项省部级项目和多项企业委托项目。
