Powering up for an alternative fuelling future

摘要

For a number of years alternatives to conventional fuels were only of background interest -but this dramatically changed as a drice result of the first fuel crisis in 1973. Subsequent progress in developing alternative fuels has been steady, rather than spectacular, However, momentum over the past two years has built rapidly. Fuel technologist Eric Goodger reviews the proceedings of a recent conference on the infrastructure and strategic decisions that will be necessary for the production of alternative fuels in commercial qua ntities.
