New fuels, vehicles, both, together: The Digest’s 2017 Multi-Slide Guide to the Co-Optima Market Transformation project

The US Department of Energy initiated a project to identify and mitigate the challenges of moving new fuels and vehicles into markets. Specifically, engaging with all critical stakeholders (OEM’s, fuel producers, distribution networks, gas station owners, UL, regulators, consumers, etc.), to understand and address impacts, concerns, opportunities, and barriers.

The goal is to facilitate new fuel standards needed for introduction into the marketplace, while identifying vehicle, distribution, and infrastructure compatibility of new candidate bio-blendstocks.

Team Lead Doug Longman at Argonne National Laboratory gave this illuminating overview at the 2017 DOE Project Peer Review meetings.
