Breakout Session
on Fuels and
Transportation
Projections for Transportation and Fuels
Source: International Energy Outlook 2011, EIA
• Demand for fuels in
transportation is
projected to grow
markedly in the coming
decades especially in
the Developing World
• Advances in energy
technologies in this
area could have a
significant impact on
this growth
• GCEP has made
scientific advances in a
number of technical
areas that could
contribute to a changing
energy demand in
transportation
GCEP RESEARCH IN ADVANCED TRANPORTATION
WIRELESS ELECTRIC POWER TRANSFER TO MOVING VEHICLES Shanhui Fan, Stanford University
• Could enable on-road charging of electric vehicles allowing: Unlimited range Autonomous
control
VNA
• Developed unique coil configurations that could be incorporated into the complex electromagnetic environment of a metallic vehicle on a roadway
• Results demonstrate potential of: High efficiency power transfer (>95% over
0.6 m) Robustness of the transfer in the presence
of an external metal object. Factor of five reduction in the size of the
coils and the number of coils in the roadway
• Studies of wireless electric power transfer via resonant coupling of non-radiating magnetic fields

Fuels and Transportation Breakout Session - Questions
Needs for breakthrough energy technologies
• What is the current status of the area in terms of energy
technologies for the Developing World?
• What goals need to be met for energy technologies to
have an impact in the Developing World?
• What are examples of Developing World energy needs in
this area that could benefit from technology
breakthroughs?
9
Criteria for their successful implementation
• What unique features and what barriers exist in the
Developing World that would impact the success of an
energy technology?
• What would make an energy technology successful in a
Developing World setting?
• What would constitute a breakthrough?
10
Fuels and Transportation Breakout Session - Questions
Identification of opportunity areas in the
Developing World
• What appear to be good matches between the energy
technologies presented (and other known energy
technologies) and the Developing World energy needs
identified for this area?
• For what aspects of this area are there currently no
technical solutions available for the Developing World?
• In which fields of this area are technology breakthroughs
most desperately needed?
11
Fuels and Transportation Breakout Session - Questions
Fuels
• Prefer cheaper, distributed, appropriate fuels - BTL, CTL, Diesel,
Electricity, CNG/LNG, Petrol, DME, 2nd generation biofuels, Auto LPG,
biogas
• Need technology for affordable distributed plants for BTL, CTL, power
and gas as per local resources.
Engines
• New engines – High efficiency, Sootless, Hybrid,
• Existing engines – After engine catalytic converter for handling higher
S diesel with lower emission's
• Use appropriate fuel in engines – railways, tractors for higher fuel
efficiency.

Fuels and Transportation Breakout Session - Viewpoints
Transport Mode
• Optimal transportation of goods across India – Model to be
developed.
• Integrated transport modeling with other energy system.
Research Areas
• Pollution kits to assess the engine pollution.
• Traffic management models –
Predict traffic and transfer message to GPS
Systems to feed data to Government for coordinating the traffic.
