Mission and Objectives

The mission and objectives of AMF have been developed through a number of Strategic Plans. The fourth and most recent one, covering the years 2009 to 2014, is approved by IEA’s Committee on Energy Research and Technology (CERT).

 Strategic Plan 2009-2014

Vision of AMF:

To contribute to sustainable solutions through our system view of the entire fuel chain from resource development to end-use. Our cooperative research in the field of transport fuels helps to facilitate the widespread use of sustainable fuels of high quality.

Mission of AMF:

AMF is one of the key players in the promotion of international collaboration in R&D, deployment and dissemination of clean, energy-efficient and sustainable fuels and related vehicle technology. It will continue to provide a fuel neutral platform for co-operative R&D, deployment and dissemination, make use of the multifaceted expertise of its partners and networks, and provide a respected clearinghouse for information facilitating the wide spread deployment of technologies for sustainable transport. We foresee increased need for cooperation and collaboration with other transport-related Implementing Agreements, such as Bioenergy, HEV, and Combustion. Together with new AMF member countries we are able to address a more diverse set of challenges in technology and local conditions. We also work actively for energy conservation in transport.

AMF has defined three Strategic Objectives:

Objective 1 (Information, Dissemination and Membership): To gather, evaluate and disseminate information on advanced motor fuels and to act as a clearing-house on related information. Provide an easy-access platform for interested parties to become member of AMF.

Objective 2 (Cooperative R&D): To create, maintain and make use of networks among partners involved in research, development, and demonstration related to advanced motor fuels

Objective 3 (Markets and Deployment): To encourage large-scale market deployment of advanced motor fuels by contributing to the identification of technical and economic barriers and by providing solid data to decision makers.
