America’s Foreign Oil Dependency: What are the options to stop this crisis? For Professor Sharon Mitchener From August 11‚ 2006 BUS 531 Research Proposal Abstract The topic of this paper is America’s foreign oil dependency. The purpose of this paper is to suggest how might America completely destroy or at least greatly mitigate its dependency on crude oil to fuel Americans’ cars‚ especially foreign crude oil. Library literature‚ newspaper articles‚ encyclopedias‚ and the Internet

¬¬¬¬In this lab‚ we explored the theory of combustion and used it to create and biodiesel. Diesel is a common fuel used to power many large trucks and heavy equipment (such as tractors and backhoes). Diesel fuel is made from crude oil that was formed over millions of years by the decomposition of prehistoric plants and animals. Through the use of an oil well‚ crude oil is pumped out of the ground and transferred (often by large ocean tankers) to oil distillation units. Crude oil contains widely varying

will be submerged. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel produced from vegetable oils. Most biodiesel is made either from crops‚ recycled cooking oil‚ or animal fats. Among them‚ recycled cooking oil is the most effective resource to make biodiesel since it does not compete with food resources. Biodiesel can be used alone or blended with petro-diesel‚ which can be used in standard diesel engines or heating oil furnaces without modification. Replacing or blending petro-diesel with biodiesel reduces emissions

PORTER’s 5 Forces Analysis indicates that the Malaysian market would be a highly competitive due to the nature of E-Cofueling technology which is penetrating into an established market that relies on Fossil fuel technology and government backed Biodiesel technology. E-Cofueling’s success highly relies on 3 key stakeholders which are the Government of Malaysia‚ Vehicle Manufacturers and Users of Diesel Vehicles. All 3 stakeholders has high interest in the E-Cofueling technology and equally powerful

Ethanol is inefficient to produce while hydrogen is efficient. Hydrogen VS biodiesel: * Biodiesel solidifies in cold temperatures and it is harder to travel through the tubes(high viscosity) while hydrogen doesn’t solidify . * Biodiesel releases the most C02 out of all the fuels. Hydrogen releases water vapor * The range for biodiesel cars is 10% less than propanol cars . Hydrogen cars have 25% more range than biodiesel cars and 15% more than propanol cars. Hydrogen VS propanol: * Propanol

Twelfth Five-Year Program. As China is achieving a low carbon economy‚ thus one of the new strategic industry‚ new energy is essential to the success of achieving the goal. Biomass energy is one of the new energy which generates electricity and biodiesel by burning agricultural straw‚ fruit‚ wood and animals waste (1).

PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL FROM KARANJA OIL BY TRANSESTERIFICATION INTRODUCTION Majority of the worlds energy needs are supplied through petrochemical sources‚ coal and natural gases‚ with the exception of hydroelectricity and nuclear energy. All these sources are finite and at current rate of usage these will be consumed shortly. The high energy demand in the industrialized world as well as in the domestic sector and pollution problems caused due to the widespread use of fossil fuels make it

Palm oil is under increasing scrutiny in relation to its effects on the environment. Palm oil‚ produced from the oil palm‚ is a basic source of income for many of the world’s rural poor in South East Asia‚ Central and West Africa‚ and Central America. An estimated 1.5 million small farmers grow the crop in Indonesia‚ whereas about 500‚000 people are directly employed in the sector in Malaysia‚ plus those connected with spin offs.[1][2] Palm oil (from the African oil palm‚ Elaeis guineensis) is
