Abstract

By 2050, the worlds' population will increase by around 3 billion and the number of vehicles on the road will double. With the supply of "easy" conventional oil becoming constrained and concerns about levels of CO2 emissions continuing to grow, changes to vehicles, fuels, and how to use them is inevitable. The energy challenge, e.g., energy supply and demand, Challenge in transportation, which accounts for about a quarter of energy-related CO2 emissions; drivers of future fuel choice; substitute for conventional fuel; challenges of electric vehicles; Shell gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology; GTL fuels (gasoil, kerosene); government policy on biofuels; biofuels; and hydrogen. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 17th International Colloquium Tribology (Stuttgart/Ostfildern, Germany 1/19-21/2010).
