| This talk will present an overview of the challenges and opportunities at the forefront of the dynamic environment of alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles. Alternative fuels are derived from sources other than petroleum. Most are derived from renewable sources, and some are produced domestically. Emphasis will be place on alternative fuels that are used to power vehicles. Alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles offer the potential to improve air quality, decrease dependence on foreign oil, and reduce emissions. The variety of alternative fuels today provides significant opportunities for scientists to improve the environment and to have a significant impact on the economy. Emerging areas where technology advances in chemistry and engineering are critical will be identified. This presentation will conclude with a summary of the multidisciplinary research effort needed to solve the technical problems that will ultimately enable widespread development and commercialization of alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles. |
