Abstract:

In the area of fuels for transportation, there is movement away from a nearly monolithic fuel structure to a multi-layered structure with a number of fuels finding their particular niche. During the next 15 to 20 years, this diversification should continue with the result being a system far more efficient than the current one. Design of vehicles, cost of fuel, and fuel availability will change to reflect this trend. Although gasoline-alcohol blends will dominate the transportation fuel sector, propane, natural gas, and straight alcohol fuels will each have a market in the future. The only fuel that will not be used to a significant extent will be hydrogen. (Author)
