TYPES AND NEED OF ALTERNATE FUELS

Energy consumption is increasing 
at a rapid phase since 1995,
because of fast technological          
 developments in every field, Most automobiles,aircraft's,machines 
etc use various fuels for their 
working, but amount of consumption depends on its kind of usage, 
efficiency,applications, area of use etc,, 
In this category Petroleum and 
natural gas products holds the 
top rank. and cost of these fuels 
also in growth criteria because
of its decreasing availability all 
over the world .To over come this Researches going on in large
 scale to find the Alternate fuel,we succeeded up to certain level .




These researches on Alternate fuel
 lead us to find various alternate 
fuels like


1.Bio fuels
(fuels from syn gas ,algae,Energy crops etc)
2.Fuels from waste
3.Nuclear Energy                                         4.Synthetic fuels                                 5.Fuels from water                                      (Hydro power,Fuel cell)
6.Alcohol family as fuel
(Methanol,Ethanol,
Propanol,Butanol etc)
7.Wind energy(Wind mills)
8.Solar Energy
etc,.. etc,.

we can also check the amount of crude oil generation from the graph shown below..




we can clearly notice its at an
 increasing phase and it will sure
 go down after some years because 
decreased resources.
now to save the world we are in
 search of Alternate fuels.

more information regarding alternate
 fuels will be provided on next post.

thank you..






NEED FOR ALTERNATE FUELS


Fuel is the source of energy 
for the engine, which turns 
heat energy into mechanical 
energy.

Petroleum is an organic material 
made up of many hydrogen and 
carbon atoms, in the family known
as hydrocarbons.

But the massive usage of petroleum
products brought the demand of less
cost and renewable kind of fuels.

Researches are undergoing regarding  
Bio fuels from oil seeds etc., 
Hydrogen ,Fischer-Tropch kerosene,
methanol,etc..implementing  those fuels in automobiles and aircraft. 

The fuels mentioned above are Renewable
and can renewed in future.

the picture below explains more clearly


non-renewable:



Renewable (feed stock)
still we are using non renewable resources more because 
of their volumetric energy and technological dependence,
it will take few more years for the change to happen...
it can be clearly shown by the survey submitted by 
Toyota corp.


more details will be added on next post..
