The Fuel Of The Future

However, other vehicles are being made such as hybrids that use less gas as well as natural gas or biodiesel, which may change how inelastic this commodity is. There are substitutes but the primary infrastructure is designed with fossil fuel delivery in mind. Almost all vehicles run on gas it is needed with little to no substitute

One resolution to the fuel pollution issue uses the idea of reinvention to curb the damage that smoke and fuel causes to the environment. A U.S. company, Sea Change LLC. paired with the Maine Maritime Academy to create a more friendly fuel (“1”). The engineering classes at the academy along with chemists created a fuel that burned cleaner and safer for the environment. The fuel used mirco-glycerol droplets mixed with ultra-low sulfur diesel to reduce harmful emissions and as a result found a reduction in smoke by 25 to 50 percent (“1”). In addition Nitrogen Oxide levels showed a reduction by 5 to 15 percent compared to regular low-sulfur diesel at equivalent horsepower (“1”). This hard work truly paid off big for these two entities and they showed that with some ingenuity safer ways of burning fuel just wait to be

In the article, “ Why the Gasoline Engine Isn’t Going Away Anytime Soon,” Joseph B. White writes about the reality of the old school, yet productive ways how the internal-combustion engine is going to stay in the competitive market. While at the same time he describes the change for the industry is coming just at a gradual slow pace. For years environmentalists and energy saving specialists could not accomplish what high oil prices did in just a couple years. Changing the game of auto makers focus to make improvements to their engines. The idea of changing from oil to electricity is possible but there is few chances of it succeeding until the future. The author states that cars powerful enough to serve more than one function are the basic need

Gasoline is widely used through out the world to power things, but unfortunately its soon becoming something of the pass since petroleum is a nonrenewable source. Through out the years this type of energy provider has given us the power to power our cars to drive us to our work, school, and home; to powering our lawnmowers to helps us maintain our front and backyard. It’s a one of a kind, and what lays in the future well just take it one step at a time.

Similarly government regulations in the United States and Europe are tightening up, consequently requiring cars to be cleaner and more fuel efficient. As a result, the collaboration with BMW is paramount to getting the most fuel efficient vehicles to the market in a timely manner so that GM can harvest a substantial profit. (3) In addition General Motors is working on the next generation of fuel efficient and gasoline free vehicles to help reduce the impact of the vehicle on the environment, while preserving personal mobility, which further indicates its commitment to innovation.

Fuel efficiency in automobiles has become a topic of much discussion in recent years in the United States. This is due largely to the environmental devastation that fuel emissions cause, but it is also sparked by the rising fuel costs. Making cars with high fuel efficiency not only saves consumers money, but also will drastically reduce the pollution that is caused by emissions. Today automakers are putting a tremendous amount of effort into making their cars more fuel efficient, both to meet government regulations and to make their car more appealing to the consumer.

The world has seen fuel prices spiral up or down to meet supply and demand. Because of this, people need to choose a cost effective fuel to meet their needs. Vehicles in the world today run off of many different types of fuel. Biodiesel is a modern fuel compared to the commonly known diesel. Biodiesel has several advantages over diesel. Biodiesel fuel comes from a renewable resource, it is better on the environment, and it meets the Environmental Protection Agency’s definition for fuel standards. In addition, Biodiesel is the most promising alternative fuel source, backed by both federal approval and incentives. Finally, consumer attitudes are changing for the positive when it comes to biodiesel. For these reasons, biodiesel should be used more often by people in the world today.

The United States is one of the large fossil fuel consuming country. Most of the automobile vehicle in the country run on the fuels like gasoline and diesel. These fuels are responsible for the increase in pollution. The demand for this fuel is increasing day by day. It is necessary to find alternative fuels because at some point these fuels are going to end. To encourage users to use cleaner vehicles to avoid pollution federal and state governments provide users significant incentives.

Environmental concerns have been raised from time to time because of the dependency on the gasoline-fueled engine as the chief auto powertrain technology. This has resulted in exposing many automobile users to unpredictable prices of fuel. These issues were, however, the reason for

“A recent report by the Intelligent Transportation Society of America projects that so-called intelligent transportation systems (ITS) could achieve a 2 to 4 percent reduction in oil consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions each year over the next 10 years as these technologies percolate into the market.” This shows that the driverless car can reduce the number of pollution each year when someone purchases an electric driverless car they are helping the environment. Therefore, with driverless cars, there would be cleaner air in the environment for humans to breathe better and for plants to grow strong and provide more resources for us. Electric driverless cars would decrease the use of gas and reduce the amount of pollution in the air and make the environment

Tonachel, Luke. Study: Electric Vehicles Can Dramatically Reduce Carbon Pollution from Transportation, and Improve Air Quality. 17 September 2015. 1 April 2017. .

According to statistical data “Almost all (95%) of the world's transportation energy comes from petroleum-based fuels, largely gasoline and diesel.” (United States Environmental Protection Agency, n.d.).

Steam engines were invented on February 21, 1804 by Richard Trevithick. The locomotives use steam as a power source. These locomotives use combustible material such as coal, wood, and oil as fuel. Water and fuel supplies are usually on the locomotive or in a trailer behind it. Steam engines were first invented in great britain in the 19th century. It was mostly used for railroad transport until about halfway through the 20th century. In this paper I will explain the history of steam locomotives and how they changed people's lives and America as a whole.

It has been estimated that there will be approximately 1200 million motor vehicles by the year 2020. That is almost twice the number of cars that are already traveling on our busy roads. Due to this ever increasing vehicle population, the demand for fuel will continue to increase as well. With the depleting supply of oil already an issue for the U.S. especially, there is a growing interest in alternative energy fuels that can be used to power motor vehicles.

There is not a class offered at most high schools that teaches the younger population what gasoline is doing to the ecosystem. Due to this, many people are seeking to go with the type of cars that are popular at the time. Unfortunately, there's not much society can do about this problem. So, we
