Description:
The links between CO2 from fossil fuels and global warming is firmly established, and the desire to reduce the CO2 emissions associated with transportation remains a key policy driver. This event will present an engineering view of how to ensure the ongoing reduction of C02 from the automotive world. (There are delegate fee discounts for LowCVP members.)
Concerns over local air quality have also re-emerged as a significant policy driver in large cities, so Future Fuels 2016 will give an overall perspective on the different choices for low carbon mobility, with a critical appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses in each area.
