This report is Volume I of a three-volume set documenting an assessment of unique and priority research and development opportunities associated with advanced propulsion systems and alternative fuels utilization for non-highway transportation applications. The air, rail, marine, and pipeline modes of transportation were addressed. More specifically, the scope of the study was focused upon advanced fuel-powered prime movers which are or could be applied to aircraft, locomotives, boats/ships, and pipeline pumping/compression station applications. Of note is the fact that advanced electric powered propulsion technologies were not addressed. (This is principally an issue for the rail and pipeline modes.) This report (Volume I) presents the assessments and recommendations resulting from the study as well as supporting information and background discussions.
