Prospects for alternatives to liquid-petroleum-vehicle fuels. Summary of the annual GRI (Gas Research Institute) energy seminar (10th) for the GRI board of directors and advisory council. Held in Vail, Colorado on August 7-9, 1989. Topical report
Gas Research Institute (GRI) conducts an annual energy seminar for its Board of Directors and Advisory Council on issues of importance to the gas industry. The summary of the Tenth Annual GRI Energy Seminar, Prospects for Alternatives to Liquid Petroleum Vehicle Fuels reports on the mix of viewpoints exchanged on market entry barriers, technology readiness, and consumer awareness and acceptance issues associated with vehicles powered by any fuel other than the traditional vehicle fuels of gasoline or diesel fuel. Presentations by gas industry executives, federal government staff, bus and car manufacturers, and GRI staff are summarized in the report. The seminar participants emphasized the particular suitability of compressed-natural-gas technology for fleet vehicles that can be serviced at central refueling stations. They found this potential to be consistent with GRI's strategy of first targeting technologies applicable to transit buses, followed by R D on medium- and heavy-duty fleet vehicles such as delivery vans and refuse haulers.
