8th International Colloquium Fuels
19. - 20. January 2011
Stuttgart / Ostfildern
The requirements on fuels for internal combustion engines and on heating fuels are governed by the following aspects:
- Engine or burner type
- Engine performance
- Environment protection needs
- Legislative requirements
- Fuel sources and resources
The importance of these points varies in different areas and countries. As a matter of fact, however, the requirements on the chemical, physical, and technological properties of fuels will increase worldwide. In the course of this development, a conflict will arise between the requirements of the engines and the expectations regarding the protection of the environment. Consequently, we will be forced to establish a balance between the various demands. This balance can only be achieved by international cooperation of the engine manufacturers, the mineral oil industry, and the legislative bodies.
Therefore, this international colloquium aims at contributing to the solution of these problems by the exchange of ideas and the discussion on all aspects connected with the system ‘engine/fuel environment’.
