Iea-Advanced Motor Fuels Annual Report 2012

Iea-Advanced Motor Fuels Annual Report 2012

IEA Implementing Agreement for Advanced Motor Fuels Annual Report 2012 The AMF IA, also known as the Implementing Agreement for Advanced Motor Fuels, functions within a framework created by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Views, findings and publications of AMF IA do not necessarily represent the views or policies of the IEA Secretariat or of all its individual member countries. Rainbow Spine: The color of the spine of AMF Annual Reports follows the colors of the rainbow. This allows to easily distinguish yearly editions from one another. The 2010 edition of the AMF Annual Report had a blue cover, the 2011 edition a green one. This year´s edition uses a very light green and will be followed by a yellow and a red edition for 2013 and 2014. The next working period of AMF, which will start in 2015, will then start again with the first color of the rainbow: violet. This year´s light green color stands for the environment, which AMF wishes to protect by avoiding GHG emissions and local pollutants through the use of advanced motor fuels in modern engines.

approximately one-fifth of global primary energy use and one-quarter of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions (IEA Energy Technology Perspectives [ETP] 2012). Today, the sector still relies on oil for more than 93% of the energy it uses. And energy demand in the transport sector has increased steadily over the past years. In order to reach climate targets, immediate solutions to fuel use problems have to be found. The transport section of IEA ETP 2012 states that “the transport sector remains dependent on oil because it has high energy density and
