The U.S. Department of Energy's Bioenergy Technologies and Vehicle Technologies Offices' Co-Optimization of Fuels & Engines (Co-Optima) initiative is accelerating efficient, clean, affordable, and scalable high-performance vehicle fuels and engines. The Co-Optima Capstone Webinar Series continues Thursday, June 24, 2021 at 2 p.m. ET with a look at medium- and heavy-duty fuels and engines to reduce emissions. This session discusses Co-Optima's characterization of the cost and environmental effects of performance enhancing bioblendstocks, their potential benefits for fuel producers, integrated modeling exploring their potential for production at commercial scale, and associated societal benefits. Presenter Troy Hawkins of Argonne National Laboratory will address the question, "What environmental and economic benefits might be realized by co-optimizing fuels and engines for medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial vehicles?"
