There is wide acknowledgement that continuing to use fossil fuels for transport the way we do is not sustainable. Transport emissions are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas and are harmful to human health. If that were not enough, how long our fossil fuel supplies will last at the current rate of use, particularly oil, remains a subject of major debate.

This Conference will focus and report on the strategic directions in sustainable transport being chosen by industry, government and the community.

An impressive list of speakers will address the conference, which will cover subjects such as:

• Government and industry policies and programs
• Alternative fuels - research, development and future directions - including hydrogen, ethanol, CNG, LNG, biofuels, gas to liquids
• Alternative technology - research, development and future directions - including fuel cells, internal combustion engines, electric vehicles, hybrids
• Infrastructure developments - what new engineering developments and investments will be needed
• Reports on trials and demonstrations

The Conference will also bring to Australia the world's pre-eminent experts in hydrogen and fuel cells, who will report on the major investments being made by many governments and industry around the world, and the progress being made.
