Fuelling the future - on tour

Following the success of its Chemistry Week UK roadshow in 2005, the Royal Society of Chemistry this year ran a national tour under the campaign banner Fuelling the future. Organised by the RSC and By Design, the tour visited nine locations across Scotland, England and Wales during Chemistry Week. Education in Chemistry caught up with the tour on stop six in Oxford.
Hosted by Oxford Science, visitors took the opportunity to look under the bonnets of some alternative fuelled cars, ranging from a H2-powered racing car, through a biodiesel-fuelled Land Rover and a Lotus sports car converted to run on bioethanol, to the more common hybrid-electric Toyota Prius.
