NOTE ROOM CHANGE

This seminar will summarize the findings in the recent report of the  
same name. The multi-year research program assessed the technology  
and fuels that could be developed and commercialized in light-duty  
vehicles over the next 25 years, their potential impact on fuel  
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during the production and  
use of both fuels and vehicles, and the policy and fiscal measures  
that would be needed.
