The conference is planned to address the need for sustainable alternative fuels for IC engine vehicles and the ways in which this could be facilitated for emerging nations, with the participation of a wide range of experts from India and leading centres of excellence globally. A key target of the conference is to obtain Governmental, Industrial and Academic alignment to future work streams that are necessary to achieve these.

Scope of Conference

Identification of potential candidate fuels, technologies, and their strengths and weaknesses

Review of existing initiatives and upcoming work around sustainable fuels

Considerations of GHG Well-to-Wheel and Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of primary candidate fuels

Economic considerations and challenges related to alternative transport fuels

Implications of alternative fuels from an IC engine and automotive perspective (i.e., safety, homologation, calibration, validation, adaption, durability)

Discussion on constraints related to its implementation and introduction (for example infrastructure, and scale up) of sustainable fuels

Discussions on legislative, policy and regulatory interventions to ensure access of sustainable fuels to urban and rural communities.
