Funded Activity Summary

Physics of combustion of multicomponent alternative transport fuels. Reducing Australian reliance on imported fuels, especially oil, will enhance the Australian long term energy outlook and the national energy security, and will assist Australia to reach future greenhouse gas emission targets. At a local level, the production of alternative transport fuels has the potential to provide rural Australia with a sustainable biomass-based industry. The establishment of fast growing wood plantations to supply the needs of the new industry can assist regions of low rain-fall and high salinity to recover. Exporting advanced Australian alternative fuels technology to other countries with similar energy and environmental problems will further enhance the economic and social benefit to Australia.
