Fuels

  • Hydrogen – Exploring areas such as hydrogen/electricity systems, regional transition case studies, alternative policies, and enhancing key hydrogen pathways models for infrastructure development strategies
  • Biofuels – Analysis of various biorefinery production systems, infrastructure strategies, environmental & land-use impacts, policy & business strategies, and vehicle analysis
  • Electricity – Production methods, total grid capacity, and time-of-day charging impacts on the utility sector, vehicle-to-grid recharging methods and policies are evaluated and optimized, and research is conducted on consumer behavior and preferences for electric drive attributes, including all-electric range and charging time
  • Fossil Fuels – The evolution of fuels produced from other fossil fuel resources, including tar sands, oil shale, and coal with carbon sequestration, expanded use of diesel fuel, and the increased focus on natural gas are evaluated
