    Alternatives For Petroleum in Automobiles

    Uploaded by

    Zandotron
    The document discusses alternatives to petroleum for use in automobiles, including methanol, ethanol, natural gas, hydrogen, biodiesel, and electricity. Methanol can be created from synthesis gas and emits slightly lower emissions than gasoline. Ethanol is a renewable fuel that can be used in 10% blends with gasoline or as an E85 blend. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils, animal fats, and grease through a transesterification process. Electric cars use batteries to store and provide electricity as a power source, providing near-zero emissions.

    INTRODUCTION
     The increasing energy consumption in the past
    several decades has raised fears of exhausting of
    vital natural resources
     Rapid industrialisation and population growth has
    increased the dependence on natural fuels
     Approximately 90% of our energy requirements
    are met by fossil fuels
     So its important for us to come up with some
    alternatives to conserve these precious fuels
    ALTERNATIVE FUELS
    Alternative fuel, also known as non-conventional
    fuels, is any material or substance that can be used
    as a fuel, other than fossil fuels, or conventional
    fuels.

     These fuels are


     Methanol and ethanol (Alcoholic fuels)
     Natural gas
     Hydrogen
     Biodiesel
     Electricity
    METHANOL
     Methanol: is an alcoholic fuel. The primary alternative
    fuel being used is M-85
     In the future, neat methanol (M-100), may also be used
     Methanol is created from a synthesis gas (hydrogen
    and CO) which is reacted in the presence of a catalyst
    CO2+3H2=CH3OH+H2O
     Emisssion from methanol based vehicles is slightly
    lower than that of gasoline based vehicles
    advantages
     High octane and performance characteristics
     Lower emissions
     Lower risk of inflammability
     Can be used in flexible fuel vehicles
     Offers more power than equivalent amount of
    petrol
    ETHANOL
     It is a renewable source of energy
     It is an alcohol made by fermenting a variety of
    feedstock such as
    sugarcane,potatoes,molasses,corn,etc.
     TWO WAYS IN WHICH ETHANOL CAN BE USED AS FUEL
    IN VEHICLES
     As a blend of 10% ethanol with 90% gasoline
     Use directly as a fuel with 15% gasoline known as
    E-85
    advantages
     No hazardous component
     Higher flash point
     High output and efficiency
    BIODIESEL
     Biodiesel is a fuel made from vegetable oil,animal
    fats,and used restaurant grease
     Biodiesel can be produced through a transesterfication
    process,forming fatty esters
    advantages
     Biodiesel is environment friendly.
     It can help dependency on foreign fuels
     It helps to lubricate the engine
    itself,decreasing engine wear
     It can be used in almost any diesel with
    little or no engine modification
     It is safer than conventional diesel
    ELECTRIC CARS
     Electricity is used in automobiles as
    batteries.
     Batteries are the storage “tanks” for
    electricity, and the quantity of potential
    power available from them is given by the
    battery rating.
     Battery powered electric vehicles are
    almost zero emission vehicles.
     Although they are not used to make high
    end sport car but is advisable for a hybrid
    everyday car.
    advantages
     Readily available
     Zero pollution
     Relatively cheaper
     Renewable
