Dual-fuel (Gaseous/Diesel) Engines – Opportunities, Challenges & Strategies to Expand the Market – the third in the series of Critical Issues Workshops – Brussels, Belgium on 30 & 31 March 2010
This forum aims to identify and explore the most important technology, marketing and regulatory issues related to gaseous fuelled (natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas – LPG) ‘dual-fuel’ diesel engines. Engine experts, fleet operators and government regulatory specialists will meet in Brussels to discuss the range of different dual-fuel technologies, operating experiences and regulatory issues that must be addressed in order to overcome the market entry challenges faced by these economic and low polluting engine technologies. Speakers and the audience will participate in an open dialogue designed to create a strategy that encourages the development of a new regulatory framework to allow the certification of dual-fuel gaseous engine systems and results in increased worldwide market penetration of dual-fuel engines and vehicles.

LNG is HOT: Opportunities, Challenges & Strategies as a Vehicle Fuel – the second in the series of Critical Issues Workshops. Brussels, Belgium on 3-4 December 2009
World LNG demand is forecast to rise from 226 billion cubic metres (bcm) during 2007 to 640 bcm by 2020 and close to 790 bcm by 2030, according to projections by the International Energy Agency and supported by a 2008 analysis by Ocean Shipping Consultants (OSC) (London). This represents a compound annual growth rate of 5.6%. In Europe, continued increases in LNG demand from Spain and France, and large-scale usage from the UK will significantly increase imports into Europe. In addition, there are many countries planning LNG terminals such as Germany, Poland and the Netherlands. Overall LNG demand in the region is forecast to reach 254 bcm by 2030. As such, the market for liquefied natural gas vehicles (L-NGVs) should strengthen concurrently as more countries incorporate LNG into their energy strategies.
