| The search for alternative energies has seen tremendous renewed interest. In part this has been triggered by environmental concerns, sustainability concerns, expected future high cost of fossil fuel, increased demand as a result of booming Chinese and Indian economies, and potential supply disruptions in oil producing countries, especially the Middle East. This session solicits papers dealing with hydrogen production, fuel cells, biodiesel production, conversion of cellulosic biomass to fuels, and innovative technologies targeted towards fuels not derived from fossil. |
