The Fuel and Energy Research Forum

The Fuel and Energy Research Forum   has been created to bring together all those with interests in fuel and energy research, particularly fossil fuel, biomass and waste and to promote and integrate these interests in the UK and worldwide. These research areas are, once again, a hot topic, where these carbon-fuels are recognised worldwide as an essential component of the energy mix required for modern life styles. They provide a widely-distributed, secure and reliable source of energy that is relatively easy to obtain. Clean carbon-fuel technology is the order of the day, with particular attention being paid to carbon capture and storage in view of global warming and carbon dioxide emissions from carbon based usage.

It is in the context of the challenges associated with carbon-fuel utilisation in the UK and worldwide that the Fuel and Energy Research Forum has been formed to act as a focal point for these challenges, providing a means of communication between industry, universities and policy-makers. 

Our technical interest groups organise meetings on a wide variety of current issues throughout the year. We hold an annual meeting to report on the activities of the Forum and provide an update on current policies and funding opportunities, and our biennial conference, the FERIA   series of Conferences, has become an established international event. We gather and publicise information through a variety of documents and keep our members informed of carbon-fuel related news through three issues of the Forum Newsletter each year. The full version of the Newsletter is available to Members only.
