of CRC Workshop on Advanced Fuel and Engine Efficiency

On February 24-26, 2014, the Coordinating Research Council (CRC) hosted a workshop at Hyatt Regency Baltimore, which focused on advanced fuel and engine efficiency. The workshop was co-sponsored by American Petroleum Institute (API) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The main goal of the workshop was to understand the state of the art and identify gaps in current research efforts towards understanding fuel and engine efficiency effects. The workshop included two introductory sessions and five themed sessions: Spark Ignition – Octane, Spark Ignition – Systems, Compression Ignition, Alternative Fuels, and Advanced Combustion. Breakout sessions were also included on both days in order to capture key learnings, identify potential gaps in understanding, and brainstorm new research ideas.
