A Fuel Alternative. The Search for an Alternative Fuel to Save the Environment… And Our Pockets. Long gone are the days were one could drive into a petrol station and fuel up your highly inefficient gas guzzling vehicle without a care for the environment and sustainability. The recent spike in the price at the bowser‚ damage to the environment and diminishing reserves has made it clear that a new‚ sustainable and clean fuel must be created in order for our vehicles and economy to operate.

Ethanol fuel is ethanol (ethyl alcohol). Ethanol‚ also called ethyl alcohol‚ pure alcohol‚ grain alcohol‚ or drinking alcohol‚ is a volatile‚ flammable‚ colorless liquid. A psychoactive drug and one of the oldestrecreational drugs known‚ ethyl alcohol produces a state known as alcohol intoxication when consumed. Best known as the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages‚ it is also used in thermometers‚ as a solvent‚ and as a fuel. In common usage‚ it is often referred to simply as alcohol or spirits

While fossil fuels are critical for the operation of our world their inefficiency and environmentally damaging characteristics take away from their appeal. Currently there are no suitable alternatives to our natural resources because they supply such a large amount of energy to so many people. Because of this research is being conducted to make our resources more efficient‚ and to find alternatives. This essay addresses the environmental impacts of our fossil fuels.

The Fossil Fuels Introduction Fossil Fuels are a non-renewable energy source. They are found in Earth’s depositions made over millions and millions years ago and are called non-renewable because they can’t be used again once they are spent. There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal‚ oil and natural gas. COAL Coal is made up of carbon‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen and some amounts of sulphur -Three main types of coal: • Anthracite : the hardest and has the most carbon in

The Chemistry of Gasoline and Diesel Because we are one of the most advanced animals in the world‚ we humans are constantly improving our methods of living by inventing new tools and gadgets to help achieve this task. With this immense amount of creation‚ come severe consequences‚ which is the need to find a usable source of fuel to power these machineries of luxury. To our luck‚ the discovery of fossil fuels‚ substances created from the decomposition of ancient organisms and fossils like oil‚ natural

Fossil fuels Oil 1) Oil is produced in Middle Eastern countries‚ Saudia Arabia accounting for 13.1 per cent of the world total‚ America 16.5 per cent and Africa 12.1 per cent. Although the Middle East has a lot of oil reserves not much is consumed. North America‚ Europe and Eurasia consume a lot of oil. This is due to the countries being MEDCs so they will need more fuel as the demand is higher. 2) The factors which cause oil prices to increase are from supply shocks (the OPEC oil embargo

Indian Diesel Generator market has been witnessing tremendous growth with rising power cuts and supply shortages across the country. Now adays‚ almost each and every organization needs consistent power supply‚ as data loss can be more expensive than the capital expenditure required for backup power equipment. Therefore‚ it is expected that the demand for diesel generators will grow in the coming years. In their latest research study‚ “India Diesel Genset Market Outlook 2018”‚ RNCOS analysts identified

Biofuels Biofuels are Fuels made from Biomass Biofuels are made from plants‚animals‚ or their waste products. Here I have listed three examples of biofuels beneath. 1 Micro-organisms decompose waste materials to produce biogas. 2 Biogas is usually about 70% methane and somewhere between 20 and 30 % carbon dioxide 3 the way we use it to generate energy is to burn it to heat up water which will then turn a turbine to produce electricity. It is also heard of to heat the water to steam which
