Technical session: Sustainable Fuels
Petroleum prices have doubled in the past three years amid rocketing global demand and supply chain disruptions from political unrest and natural disasters. At the same time, concern about the impact of fossil fuel use on global climate and environmental quality has spurred a search for alternatives. In this session, scientists and engineers discuss the progress being made in unlocking energy from plants and waste, and the steps needed to move these innovations from the lab to the pump.
