Transportation Energy
TRI is concentrating on the total fuel cycle, not just the energy consumption portion of transportation.
Research is being conducted on production of fuels from raw feedstocks including grains, cellulose, petroleum, and coal, as well as power storage mediums such as hydrogen and batteries, while considering the environmental fate of by-products including air emissions, water quality impacts, and human health effects.
A primary goal of our research is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions but maintaining a viable economy dependent on affordable transportation.
