ALTERNATIVE FUEL & THEIR
USES
INTRODUCTION

 The increase in energy consumption


particularly in the past several decade has
raised fears of exhausting vital natural
resources
 Rapid industrialization has massive
growth in population has increased the
dependence and use of natural fuels

 Approximately 90% of our energy


requirement are met by fossil fuels
 Studies suggest that if exploited at the
same rate, the coal reserves will deplete in
the next 200-300 years and petroleum
deposits will deplete in the next few
decades

 So, it is important for us to engage in


research and development of alternative
fuels s we may not face scarcity of natural
resources in the future
Alternative Fuel Sources

 Hydrogen

 Biodiesel

 Ethanol

 Biomass
Hydrogen

 Clean source of fuel

 Extracted by electrolysis of H2O

 Helps lower CO2 emissions

 End product is H2O


Uses

 Widely use in rocket


engines
 Used for Internal Combustion
Engines when mixed with
natural gas
 Used extensively in fuel
cells
Biodiesel

 Clean burning alternative fuel source

 Derived from Soy beans and animal


fats
 Has same vehicular performance as
Diesel
 Completely renewable fuel source
Uses

 Popularly used in vehicles and


power generators
Ethanol

 Is a renewable energy source

 Can be produced from variety of


feedstock such as sugar cane , potatoes ,
sweet potatoes , molasses , corn , etc.

 Mostly produced by
Fermentation
 Is a particulate _ free burning fuel
source
Uses

 Most commonly used to power


automobiles
 Additive for gasoline
Biomass
 Is the most important source for
energy productions supplied by
agriculture
 Is a “carbon lean’’ fuel
producing a fraction of the
Carbon emissions of fossil
 Anaerobic digestions converts biomass,
especially waste product such as municipal
solid waste and market waste
Uses

 Can offer local business opportunities


and support the rural economy

 Can be used as a domestic fuel

 Used for boilers


Conclusion

 The alternative fuel sources are


environment _ friendly as opposed to fossil
fuels
 By using alternative sources we can
reduce, Air pollution , soil pollution and
water pollution

 Using alternative fuel helps diminish


Global Warming
 Throughout the year these sources are
available without affecting the Environment

 Helps conserve natural resources
