IWI’s recently expanded Alternative Fuels Committee aims to promote methods to accelerate the transition of personal and commercial watercraft used on inland waterways toward clean and sustainable propulsion systems.
Its audience is the boating public, commercial interests, corporations and legislative agencies.
Its goal is to provide information on the latest technologies and best practices to these audiences so they can make the best-informed decisions about reducing carbon emissions from marine propulsion.
Simon Boyde chairs the Committee. See the Alternative Fuels page.
