Since the invention of air planes few decades ago‚ air travelling has become famous among travellers. When the air transportation was first introduced in 1903 by the Wright Brothers‚ many people could not travel using it because it was expensive. But after few decades‚ technology has improved and air transportation is being widely used all around the world. Most of the countries has built airports and has their own airline companies.

In this paper‚ I will briefly review how ethanol is produced in different parts of the world. I will also review several of the advantages of using ethanol as a renewable source of energy for the transportation sector. Many environmental organizations support the use of ethanol as it burns cleaner than fossil fuels. Ethanol is considered

All engineers essentially do the same thing‚ but each one is special. Architects and transportation engineers each design and build structures. Architects build structures for people to live and work in while transportation engineers build and design ways to get from one place to another. The first architects were the Ancient Egyptians who built the

gasoline is currently on the rise. NASCAR cut the volume of fuel cell from twenty gallons to thirteen gallons each car. There is a high demand for a new energy. After the issue of fuel crisis was brought up‚ the society started to be interested in hydrogen. Hydrogen is the strongest candidate for the fuel of the future. Hydrogen can be used for transportation more efficiently‚ safely‚ and effectively. Also they are environmentally friendly. Since hydrogen is not a fundamental fuel‚ using
