CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study In the Philippines‚ forests and woodlands cover about 7‚168‚400 hectares (http://forestry.denr.gov.ph). These forests have unique environmental and biodiversity values‚ and make available a wide range of products for subsistence use. The most predominant use of wood is in the form of firewood and charcoal by the majority of Filipinos in both rural and urban areas. Firewood is preferred in rural areas simply because it is obtainable free of charge

powering one engine with a mixture containing biofuel made from Camelina. Great Plains – The Camelina Company provided some of the Camelina used to make the fuel for this flight. Earlier‚ camelina was one of the feedstocks powering the Japan Airlines biofuels test‚ while the U.S. military has performed ground engine tests on camelina-based jet fuel in preparation for FA-18 Hornet fighter jet flights planned for this spring. Biofuels Digest has covered the camelina story in 71 different stories since

evaluate ethanol as a fuel‚ the experiments are Fermentation and Calorimetry. Fermentation will find the best combination of sugar and yeast for optimum ethanol production and the Calorimetry experiments test ethanol against other alcohols and fuels to see how it matches up in terms of energy production. Fermentation shows glucose and baker’s yeast as the fastest producers of ethanol and the calorimetry proves that ethanol and other alcohols produce more heat energy than other fuels. Introduction

lets us get away on vacation‚ running boats‚ four wheelers‚ and motorcycles. But if not handled or stored properly gasoline can be very dangerous. You should only use gasoline for it’s intended purpose‚ as fuel for motors. When you store gasoline it should in a container intended for storing fuel. It should always be stored in a dry safe place‚ away from anything that could potentially ignite it. You should not use gasoline to wash parts and tools‚ or light charcoal or backyard fires. Whether you

Chemistry research task Slow combustion: Slow combustion occurs when a substance burns over a longer period without any external heat. The fuel is exposed to air and creates slow reaction occurs between the particles in the fuel and oxygen which is in the air‚ producing no heat or light. Even though it burns slowly without external heat‚ the burning speed is different with every resource due to limited amount of oxygen reaching the combustible substance‚ hence smaller the surface area lowers

Alternative fuels‚ or at least the concept of it‚ has been around since the early days of the automobile. Alternative fuels such as biodiesel‚ ethanol and methanol‚ have been produced and used on a small scale for decades. They are now being rediscovered due to the rising cost of oil and the instability of world politics. The discovery of these fuels changed the face of the planet‚ but since day one people have looked for other fuels that improved over the course of history. Alternative fuel vehicles
