GREEN FUELS NEXT GENERATION FUELS

 -GREEN FUELS/ NEXT GENERATION FUELS The fuels that are likely to serve our purpose are : (1) Electric (2) Hybrid (3) Natural gas (4) Hydrogen (5) Fuel cells (6) clean diesel (low sulfur) (7) Biodiesel (B100) (8) Ethanol (E85.) Each of the mentioned fuels will be weighed out according to the amount of pollution they and not contribute to the atmosphere ELECTRIC ADVANTAGES :- The advantages of an electric ran vehicle can be summed up in four words “ PLUG IN AND GO " Being that they are operated purely on battery, they give out no emissions or other toxins usually associated with modes of transportation As far as being green and the lesser evil of most fuels, electric is the least damaging fuel to the environment DISADVANTAGES:- Unlike a gas engine, it takes a lot longer to charge an electric car and it can be a hassle when making long road trips For numerous reasons such as, not every gas station is equipped with compatible equipment to fuel electric cars, if your car stalls from a low battery it is harder to transport electric, than a gallon of gas In addition, the price of electric fueled vehicles is quite expensive and the price to convert your mobile can range from $5,000-$10,000 Not to mention your electric bill HYBRIDS A hybrid is a VEHICLE that uses two sources of fuel, some use gas combined with electric, solar or water ADVANTAGES:-  Since it is also using other sources of fuel it gives got less emissions than an engine solely using gasoline In addition, some hybrid cars you can get up to 50 per gallon This means on long drives or road trips you could drive well over 500 miles before you would need to stop and get gas Hybrid cars are also very affordable where some are priced brand new from just $12,000 and up DISADVANTAGES :- When a hybrid battery is drained or just stop working, it can cost around $5,000 to replace  In addition, hybrids have a lighter body weight to compensate for its heavy engine where in case of accident it can be extremely dangerous for the driver NATURAL GASES ADVANTAGES :- It burns clean as well as releases 70% less carbon dioxide than fossil fuel, making it a lot cleaner than traditional fuel.Natural gas has a higher heating value as well as is less expensive than traditional fuels DISADVANTAGES :- It cannot be recycled, the world can only produce so much which in time natural resources can run out In addition, the price to recover remaining natural gas due to flow, access etc, is expensive HYDROGEN Hydrogen or water powered vehicles, even though they are not yet on the market, or even close to being completely developed as far as the other fuels mentioned in this report, hypothetically there would be many advantages ADVANTAGES :-  Emissions would be close to none, which is beneficial to our environment Everyone would be able to afford to fuel their vehicle DISADVANTAGES :- It has not been developed for mass production In addition, unemployment would sky rocket due to no need for gas stations, or any other gas related occupations As well as we can only assume that, the purchase price of purely watered power vehicles would be very pricey FUEL CELL A fuel cell is like a battery in a sense, but instead it combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity Although it is a chemical process, it does not involve heat ADVANTAGES :- It does not involve any moving parts, so traditional mechanical complications are minimal Fuel cell emissions only emit water and it is very quite during operation DISADVANTAGES :- It is expensive to make as it relies on the use of platinum Platinum even though already in use throughout the market is a natural resource and is bound to run out eventually, especially if we increase our dependency on using this rare metal In addition, with changing technology mechanics will slowly find themselves out of a job as well as other vehicle maintenance services CLEAN DIESEL Clean Diesel is diesel fuel put through a process where pressure is used to remove the majority of its sulfur content It is also called as Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) ADVANTAGES :- It reduces 90% of emissions content, compared to traditional diesel energy This promotes cleaner air as well as complies with EPA(Environmental Protection Agency) quality standards and regulations This type of fuel is also compatible with all diesel-fueled engines DISADVANTAGES :- The potential purchase price is more expensive as well as current availability is limited In addition, this type of fuel is susceptible to eating through engine seals as well as during cold weather its liability decreases BIO DIESEL  Biodiesel Fuel is diesel fuel consisting of oils derived from animal fat and recycled cooking grease ADVANTAGES :- It can be made from home Most diesel engines can utilize biodiesel fuel as well as it emits less air pollutants and greenhouse gas.In addition, it is also biodegradable, non-toxic as well as is a lot safer to handle compared to traditional diesel DISADVANTAGES:- The disadvantages of biodiesel fuel is that B100 gets 10% less fuel economy then tradition diesel as well as it also not suitable for really cold weather conditions E 85 E85 or ethanol is a mixture consisting of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline ADVANTAGES :- E85 emits less air pollutants than traditional gasoline, also it is resistant to engine fuel mixture detonation or in laymen, “engine knock.” E85 is also not as expensive compared to gasoline DISADVANTAGES :- Only certain cars can run this fuel, such as flex-fuel cars, trucks, SUV’s In addition, not every gas station carries E85, as well as your vehicle will have lower gas mileage and as of now producing, the mixture is costly CONCLUSION Relevant to the above explained contexts, scenarios and inferences it is evident that we can reduce engine knocking and its after effects using the green fuels We conclude measures are to be taken at war foot lines to improve the quality of these fuels [...]... CONCLUSION Relevant to the above explained contexts, scenarios and inferences it is evident that we can reduce engine knocking and its after effects
