Advanced Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Technology (GDT2)
This three-day course discusses the future fuelling options for the current road
transport market. Environmental considerations, including air quality concerns
open the proceedings. Products types discussed will include conventional fuels,
plus bio based alcohols, ethers, bio vegetable oils and their derivatives. Their
qualities, specifications, blending performance and suitability will be
described. Supply and demand considerations will be covered. Basic engineering
demands of the gasoline and diesel powertrains and the quality needs of future
fuels will be highlighted. New technologies for "conventional" powertrains and
after-treatment systems will also receive attention. Other future fuelling
scenarios including electric, solar, hybrid and hydrogen powered vehicles will
be discussed.

A Biofuels Overview (BF0)
This course provides an introduction to biofuels. Presentations include new
process technologies and feedstocks, specifications, performance, environmental
aspects plus so-called "second generation" biofuels. These aspects and advances
in engine technology have combined to present a range of potential problems in
storage, handling and use. These difficulties need to be understood if the
potential of this developing market is to be fully realised. Current and future
challenges faced by the motor manufacturers, oil and additive industries will
also be addressed. Throughout the two days emphasis will be placed on both the
practicalities of biofuels and their real contribution to mitigating global
warming.

Technical and Operational Aspects Involved in the Handling of Aviation Fuel (RF7)
The quality control and safety measures, which are employed during the
transfer of the fuel from the point of manufacture to the aircraft, are
reviewed by considering specifications, additives, and recent developments in
laboratory methods, sources of contamination, quality control, equipment and
procedures. In addition the principles of operation of the jet engine and its
environmental impact will be discussed together with the factors which
influence the demand and availability of jet fuel.
