โœฆ Synopsis


The U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Utilization Program has been conducting research and development (R&D) on alcohol fuels since the 1970s. One of its objectives is to advance the technology and establish the ultimate performance capability of alcohol fuels in conventional engines. Early projects investigated the performance of low-level alcohol blends. The program expanded to encompass the benefits of mid-range blends and neat alcohol fuel applications. The current R&D program at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory concentrates on designing engines and emission control systems around the properties of neat alcohol fuels. This paper presents the current status of R&D efforts and prospects for future developments for optimizing the performance of alcohol-fueled vehicles.
