The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Co-Optima initiative is accelerating the introduction of efficient, clean, affordable, and scalable high-performance fuels and engines. This effort is simultaneously tackling fuel and engine research and development (R&D) to maximize light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicle fuel economy and performance, while mapping lower-cost pathways to reduce emissions, leveraging diverse domestic fuel resources, boosting U.S. economic productivity, and enhancing national energy security. Co-Optima brings together DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE), nine national laboratories, 13 universities, and numerous industry and government stakeholders in a collaboration exploring solutions with potential for near-term improvements to the types of fuels and engines found in most vehicles currently on the road, as well as to the development of revolutionary new combustion technologies. This report is an overview of the research activities and accomplishments of the Co-Optima initiative during the 2017 Fiscal Year.
