A Fuel Alternative. The Search for an Alternative Fuel to Save the Environment… And Our Pockets. Long gone are the days were one could drive into a petrol station and fuel up your highly inefficient gas guzzling vehicle without a care for the environment and sustainability. The recent spike in the price at the bowser‚ damage to the environment and diminishing reserves has made it clear that a new‚ sustainable and clean fuel must be created in order for our vehicles and economy to operate.

What is Alternative Fuels Alternative Fuels come from resources other than petroleum. Alternative fuel uses sources like corn‚ vegetable oils‚ animal fats‚ natural gas‚ propane and hydrogen. Various Alternative Fuels are produced domestically‚ thus reducing our dependence on imported oils and some are derived from renewable sources. Alternative fuel produces less pollution than normal gasoline or diesel (U.S. Department of Energy‚ n.d. ). Alternative fuel is produce for a variety of vehicles

Fossil fuels Oil 1) Oil is produced in Middle Eastern countries‚ Saudia Arabia accounting for 13.1 per cent of the world total‚ America 16.5 per cent and Africa 12.1 per cent. Although the Middle East has a lot of oil reserves not much is consumed. North America‚ Europe and Eurasia consume a lot of oil. This is due to the countries being MEDCs so they will need more fuel as the demand is higher. 2) The factors which cause oil prices to increase are from supply shocks (the OPEC oil embargo

Alternative Fuels People in America do not realize the fact that driving their vehicle is one of the regular activities that they do that has one of the largest impacts on the earth. With more and more cars in use each day‚ the more fossil fuels are called for. Fossil fuels are natural fuels that were formed from the remains of living organisms. These fossil fuels typically take millions of years to be formed. Since most fossil fuels are being imported due to it taking a huge amount of time

Introduction Fossil Fuels are the most important energy sources in our world today. The overwhelming majority of the huge amount of energy used in the world comes from the burning of three major fossil fuels: coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy‚ and there is no other . They are formed over a very long period of time; the fossil fuels on earth today were formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago. These fossil fuels are found in deposits

Introduction to the Magnetic Treatment of Fuel By R.J. Kita Hydrogen is the lightest and most basic element known to man. With its simple structure comprised of only one proton and one electron‚ it is one of the major constituents of all hydrocarbon based fuels. By studying the response of hydrogen with respect to magnetic fields and the accompanying increased energy output‚ much can be learned and applied to other related fuels. In the oxidation/combustion of hydrocarbon fuels‚ it is the outer shell of the
