The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) will present a briefing examining the health impacts of current octane sources and the need for cleaner, cost-effective octane providers. Octane is necessary for vehicle performance and increasing octane volumes would enable highly efficient engines. At the same time, octane-boosters in use today have historically been highly toxic compounds. But cleaner alternatives are available--namely biofuels.

Speakers:

  • Reuben Sarkar, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Transportation, U.S. Department of Energy
  • Dr. Carol Kwiatkowski, Executive Director, The Endocrine Disruption Exchange
  • Dean Drake, President, Defour Group, LLC; Retired General Motors engineer (34 years)
