Thu Jan 14, 09am-04:00pm, 56-114
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
The goal of this short course is to gain a better understanding of fuels using a combination of video, photos, diagrams, text and audio. The material is based on seminars our fuels technology staff has given to automotive mechanics, as well as our marketing and advertising agencies. We have included four modules which deal with the most common topics that have been requested at these seminars. These include:
1. Refining, Supply and Pricing
2. Gasoline
3. Biofuels
4. Ethanol & E-85

Low Carbon Emission Electricity Generating Technology Options
Ja'nos M. Bee'r
Fri Jan 15, 01-03:00pm, 66-110
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
As CO2 emission control from fossil fuel based power generation is gaining increasing acceptance, high generating efficiency and CO2 capture and storage are becoming key concepts for both new and existing plants. State of the art technology options and those in R&D and Demonstration stages are discussed together with their timeline and the possibility of speeding up their deployment.
