The U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy TechnologiesandVehicle Technologies Offices' Co-Optimization of Fuels & Engines (Co-Optima) initiative is accelerating the introduction of efficient, clean, affordable, and scalable high-performance vehicle fuels and engines. A new Co-Optima Capstone Webinar Series highlights key takeaways from the breakthrough initiative.

The series kicks off this Thursday, March 25, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. ET with a session that asks, “How can co-optimized fuels and spark-ignition (SI) engines enhance efficiency while reducing carbon emissions of light-duty (LD) passenger vehicles?” Presenters Daniel Gaspar of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Jim Szybist of Oak Ridge National Laboratory will describe Co-Optima’s identification of biofuel blend components chosen to improve key fuel properties, as well as their potential impacts on the sustainability of LD SI fuels and engines.
