Introduction Climate change is one of significant issues that have been considered in recent years. According to Anderson (2009)‚ most climate researchers recognise it is essential to reduce 80 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 to prohibit effects of climate change. Furthermore‚ carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most important causes to produce GHG which is combusted from heating‚ transportation and electricity generated by fossil fuels. However‚ one of the solutions for

gravimetric or specific fuel consumption like in volumetric measurement methods. The fuel consumption can thus be determined to an accuracy of 0.12% for the whole system under real test bed conditions. With the FlexFuel version‚ up to 100% alcohol and biodiesel can be measured.

Biofuels Vehicles that run on biodiesel get thirty percent better fuel economy than gasoline-powered vehicles (Perritano). The many forms of biofuels make it easier to obtain and use. Biofuels are better for the environment because they reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For example‚ ethanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions up to sixty-five percent (Perritano). Biofuels are a source of energy from plants that can help fuel our vehicles and our lives. A biofuel is any fuel that is made from plant

Green Technologies Green technology‚ also known as environmental or clean technology‚ minimizes impacts on the environment and natural resources. It’s based on concepts such as conserving water and energy‚ reducing waste and pollution‚ harnessing renewable energy sources‚ finding ways to reuse materials‚ and developing less polluting technologies. Green technology is everywhere these days; in the news‚ politics‚ fashion‚ and of course technology. Green Technology is becoming so widespread

Benefits of Talisay Tree 1) The leaves applied to the head and sides are refreshing and sudorific – a medicine that causes or increases sweating. 2) The red leaves and fruits are used to expel worms. 3) The leaves are mixed with oil and rubbed on the breast to cure pain. 4) The bark is used against gastric fevers and bilious diarrhea. 5) The bark is also antidysenteric. Dysentery is infection of the intestines marked by severe diarrhea. 6) The sap of the tender leaves‚ mixed and cooked with

algae comprise more than 50 percent oil‚ and an average acre of algae grown today for pharmaceutical industries can produce 5‚000 gallons (19‚000 litres) of biodiesel each year. By comparison‚ an average acre of corn produces 420 gallons (1‚600 litres) of ethanol per year‚ and an acre of soybeans yields just 70 gallons (265 litres) of biodiesel per year. Moreover‚ red algae has the potential of up taking atmospheric carbon dioxide at much increased rates compared to other plants‚ thereby solving two

Petrol‚ diesel and other fuels produced from crude oil make a range of harmful substances when they are burned‚ including: carbon dioxide carbon monoxide water vapour particulates (solid particles) sulfur dioxide oxides of nitrogen or NOx. Biodiesel Biodiesel is made from rapeseed oil and other plant oils. It can be used in diesel-powered vehicles without needing any modifications to the engine.

Bio-ethanol is manufactured from fermenting starch‚ wheat and sugar cane. Ethanol is also made from the hydration of ethylene from petroleum‚ though the majority of ethanol is produced by fermentation. It is considered an alternative fuel source as it is regarded to be renewable and more beneficial to the environment. As a car fuel ethanol is blended with petrol in different concentrations. In cars‚ carbon monoxide is produced from the incomplete combustion of petroleum. By adding ethanol which
