Chemistry in Motion

Chemistry impacts myriad facets of the transportation industry from the fuels that are needed to power vehicles to the materials from which the vehicles are designed. Energy, the environment and economics are intimately joined with regard to the creation of a successful transportation network, and chemistry impacts each and all components of that equation. Chemistry is a dominant factor for optimizing the use of precious resources, the development of new technologies to power and build our transportation infrastructure and to minimize the environmental consequences of a society built upon energy and mobility.
