What is Alternative Fuels Alternative Fuels come from resources other than petroleum. Alternative fuel uses sources like corn‚ vegetable oils‚ animal fats‚ natural gas‚ propane and hydrogen. Various Alternative Fuels are produced domestically‚ thus reducing our dependence on imported oils and some are derived from renewable sources. Alternative fuel produces less pollution than normal gasoline or diesel (U.S. Department of Energy‚ n.d. ). Alternative fuel is produce for a variety of vehicles

| Fossil Fuel: Natural Gas | Renewable resource: Wind Power | Describe this resource | Natural Gas in a Hydrocarbon gas that is naturally occurring. It consists of mostly methane and is used as fuel for some vehicles and heating the home. | Wind power is one of the cleanest sources of electricity. It usually involves a fan that spins‚ and the energy is transported to a generator. | Advantages of this resource (include at least two) | 1. Very abundant underground.2. Is cleaner than most other

Great Impact of Rising Fuel Price Fuel is another transportation system component. Rising of fuel price is one of the major issues facing the transportation industry in Malaysia. Fuel may be gasoline‚ natural gas‚ diesel fuel‚ ethanol‚ methanol‚ coal‚ etc. The costs and efficiency of transportation fuels are considerable interest. (Joseph Sussman; Introduction to Transportation Systems; Transportation System Components; 2000). Fuel price volatility along with overall price increases has been an

How is business dependent on transport? Transportation allows people and things to go places‚ whether it is across a land or across an ocean and in fact anything that allows a person or item to move. Without transportation we would be confined to living our lives in one spot. Transportation and logistics is essential to do business. All the companies need logistics as a competitive strategy. This is especially problematic for new start-ups in the internet world. The problem with smaller companies

Biodiesel Fuel The biggest problem the United States faces today when we talk about becoming energy independent is replacing the gas we use to power our vehicles. When we talk about replacing gasoline as the fuel we use to power our vehicles‚ biomass‚ hydrogen‚ and fuel cells are the three most talked about alternatives. Biomass‚ which is organic material made from plants and animals‚ contains stored energy from the sun. Biomass in the form of bio fuels can be used to make the same products

should invest in railways rather than roads The population explosion results in the high demands of transportation. Many countries have suffered from pollution‚ noisy and casualty for a long time. From my perspective‚ the most possible solution to these problems is improving roads and highways because of three below crucial reasons. First and foremost‚ we all know that upgrading public transportation will surely aggravate the pollution and accidents. The buses‚ cars and trains regularly emit a noxious
