  • Is It Really The End Of Internal Combustion Engines and Petroleum In Transport?
    Event Type: Technical lecture
    12 March 2020 18:30to23:00
    University of Birmingham - Birmingham
    ***EVENT CANCELLED*** We regret that this event has had to be cancelled, due to concerns about the Covid-19 virus. Currently, global transport is almost entirely powered by internal combustion engines (ICE) using petroleum-based liquid fuels. The alternatives to ICE and conventional fuels start from a low base and face serious environmental, economic and social constraints to rapid and unlimited growth. The talk will discuss the outlook for transport energy in this context.
