Advanced Motor Fuels Technology (AMF)
  • Advanced Motor Fuels (AMF) is one of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) transportation related Technology Collaboration Programmes.
  • Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) are multilateral technology initiatives that encourage technology-related activities that support-
  1. Energy security,
  2. Economic growth and
  3. Environmental protection.
  • AMF provides an international platform for co-operation to promote cleaner and more energy efficient fuels and vehicle technologies.
Vision-
  • The vision of AMF is a sustainable transportation system that-

  2. Has reduced emissions of GHGs and air contaminants; and
  3. Meets needs for personal mobility and the movement of goods on a local and global scale.
  • AMF contributes to the achievement of this vision by providing-
  1. A solid basis for decision making (information and recommendations) and
  2. A forum for sharing best practices and pooling resources, internationally.
Mission-
 
  • To provide sound scientific information and technology assessments that allow citizens and policy makers to make informed and science-based decisions about options involving the use of advanced fuels for transportation systems.
  • To provide such data to decision makers, AMF acts as a clearinghouse, by-
  1. Pooling resources and information on an international level;
  2. Identifying and addressing technology gaps and barriers to deployment;
  3. Performing cooperative research on advanced motor fuels;
  4. Demonstrating advanced motor fuels and related vehicle and after-treatment technologies; and
