IFP Sessions: "Which Technologies to Diversify Transportation Fuels?"

9 December 2009
IFP/Rueil-Malmaison

Alternative fuels produced from natural gas, coal, biomass or hydrogen will be urgently needed in the coming decades to supplement conventional oil-based transportation fuels. The forecasted strong growth of the global transportation fuel demand, the gradual peaking of conventional oil production, critical environmental factors, and the difficulty to achieve rapid large-scale substitution of oil-based transportation fuels all represent an incentive to diversify transportation fuels by developing alternative sources.

The IFP Sessions organized by IFP on 9 December 2009, gathered about 140 people. The programme took stock of the technologies needed to produce alternative transportation fuels from natural gas, coal, biomass and hydrogen, addressed producer and user expectations and how they can be met. Conferences by major players and experts and a panel discussion gave participants a forward-looking vision of the main routes - both current and emerging - to alternative fuels.
