JOIN IASH TODAY

IASH is the world's foremost international organization devoted to all technical aspects related to the stability, handling, and use of liquid fuels from petroleum and other non-petroleum based sources.

IASH is a non-political, non-commercial, not-for-profit association that relies on volunteers to maintain autonomy from single organizations or companies.

IASH publishes a biannual newsletter, sponsors a biennial international conference, and publishes the technical content from the conferences in the conference proceedings.

IASH provides a forum to facilitate and encourage the exchange of scientific knowledge. Additionally, it promotes research and experimentation on the scientific and operational factors affecting the stability and handling of liquid fuels during their manufacture, blending, transportation, storage, and use. Our volunteers are drawn from a cross-section of government, academia and industry. It is our goal to expand the body of knowledge of liquid fuels in a wide range of topic areas, including:

• Crude Oil and Its Refined Products
• Fuels Derived or Processed from Oil Shale, Tar Sands, Coal, Natural Gas and Renewable Feedstocks
• Fuel Additives and Reformulated Fuels such as those Containing Oxygenated Components
• New Technologies to Characterize and Study Fuels
• Fundamental Chemistry of Fuels and Fuel Additives during Storage and Use

MEMBERSHIP: Individual membership fees are $200 for the 2010-2011 two-year period. Annual company-sponsored Sustaining and Supporting Memberships are also available. Membership benefits provide access to the IASH Online Library which publishes conference proceedings from 2000 through 2009, as well as all IASH Newsletters.
