Oil Majors Key to Integrating Alt Fuels and Technologies - Report

摘要

Oil majors including Chevron Corp. and BP plc are playing an important role as partners to alternative-fuel technology companies, according to a new report from Lux Research. Titled Mapping Empires, Goldmines, and Landmines in the Alternative Fuels Network, the report notes that in the last decade hundreds of start-ups, corporations, financiers and uni- versities have developed compelling alternative fuel technolo- gies, such as bio-based jet fuel and cellulosic ethanol. Now, as these alternative fuels scale up, partnership networks are increasingly dominated by the major oil companies.
