Washington, D.C., Aug. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Engine Technology Forum (ETF) team is in Louisville meeting with government officials attending the National Conference of State Legislaturesโ Legislative Summit. Approximately 4,250 people are expected to attend the three-day event underway at the Kentucky International Convention Center.
โOur team is here in the middle of all of the action, explaining how internal combustion engines are driving our economy and evolving to help achieve our sustainable energy goals. We invite all Summit attendees to stop by our booth in the Exhibit Hall and talk with our team,โ says ETF Executive Director Allen Schaeffer.
In addition, the ETF will host a Learning Hub session on Wednesday August 7 titled Electrification or Internal Combustion? Why Both Are Needed to Help Tackle Climate Change. That starts at 12:30 p.m. at booth 159. Participants will test their knowledge about energy, climate and transportation fuels, and technologies. Representatives from Volvo Group North America, a leading manufacturer of commercial trucks, buses, construction equipment, and engines will also participate.
โWe hope attendees will understand more about the full range of decarbonization options including internal combustion engines and the benefits of taking action now to reduce carbon emissions with the advanced renewable biofuels. Weโll leave legislators with a to-do list of actions they can take back to their states to further advance decarbonization from the transport sector,โ says Schaeffer.
