January 27, 2009,
12:00pm - 1:30pm

Speaker: John Heywood, Sun Jae Professor of Mechanical Engineering, MIT. This seminar will summarize the findings in the recent report of the same name. The multi-year research program assessed the technology and fuels that could be developed and commercialized in light-duty vehicles over the next 25 years, their potential impact on fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during the production and use of both fuels and vehicles, and the policy and fiscal measures that would be needed. This session is part of the Issues in Technology and Policy 2009 IAP Seminar Series.
