Enabling low greenhouse gas emissions from road vehicles through the proper use of alternative fuels

在我们应对气候变化和能源安全挑战方面，似乎有必要大幅增加替代运输燃料的使用。这项建议将促进我们对特定替代燃料燃烧的关键方面的基本了解，从而实现适当的发动机设计，从而最大限度地提高温室效应和能源安全效益。此外，澳大利亚汽车业是主要的雇主和出口商，需要开发和/或保持低排放技术的国际领先地位，以确保其长期生存能力。这项建议建立了一个具有共同利益的当地组织联盟，从而帮助当地行业应对它们目前面临的几个重大挑战。

A major increase in alternative transport fuel use appears necessary in our response to the challenges of climate change and energy security. This proposal will advance our fundamental understanding of key aspects of the combustion of particular alternative fuels, thus enabling proper engine design and so maximising greenhouse and energy security benefits. Further, the Australian automotive industry is a major employer and exporter, and needs to develop and/or maintain international leadership in low emission technologies to ensure its long term viability. This proposal builds a consortium of local organisations with common interests, thus helping local industry respond to several, significant challenges that they presently face.
