States even while the United States depends on the Middle East for most of its oil is a double-edged sword. The dependency on foreign oil needs to be reduced to a minimum. There are options open to renewable, clean energy sources. There are alternative fuels that are not necessarily clean but are not crude oil and would help to lessen the need for Middle Eastern assistance. There are however several blockages to

The United States imports most of its petroleum from foreign nations which could pose problems in the future. This is why Alternative fuels such as hydrogen should be extensively researched. The motor transportation industry should invest in extensive research and development in hydrogen fuel to help the fuel economy create stronger national energy security, make fuel more efficient and renewable, and more

ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR IC ENGINE A Technical seminar Report submitted to Manipal University in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the award of the degree of BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING In Automobile Engineering Submitted by KULDEEP KUMAR SINGH (Reg.

petrol, but this source of fuel is not reliable nor is it environmentally stable for future use. It is stated by Barrett and Worden (2016), that the burning of fossil fuels produces around 21.3 Giga tons of CO2 every year. Taking into account the natural processes of plant life, that can only absorb half of those emissions the world creates, in which on average creates a net worth of

operation; they offer their transportation services to Canada, Mexico, and the continental United States. We chose J.B. Hunt because they are leading innovators in green transportation by using environmentally friendly fuel, reducing empty miles, training drivers to drive in a fuel-efficient manner, and a myriad of other green innovations (J.B. Hunt, 2015). J.B. Hunt’s innovations have made them one of the most competitive transportation companies in the nation (J.B. Hunt, 2015). Compared to their

1.6 RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES Energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat is termed as renewable energy. The most common definition is that a natural process at a rate that is equal to or faster than the rate at which that resource is being consumed by renewable energy is from an energy resource. Renewable energy is a subset of sustainable energy. 1.61 Main types of renewable energy sources:

environmentally clean. America as a whole must look into these new forms of renewable energy to determine if they are a practical alternative to the use of petroleum as an energy source. If we do not try to find a clean and efficient alternative to fossil fuels, I am concerned

savings to consumers. Biofuel is a form of fuel produced under biological carbon fixation (such as anaerobic digestion and agriculture). Biofuels are in various forms and are used widely in achieving energy storage needs. Biofuels are a known source of renewable energy because of its great environmental advantages, which includes reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The form of biofuels is categorized into three generations, with each generation containing various fuels. • First Generation Biofuels: This generation

source of fuel, as nearly all pre-existing fuel infrastructure is built upon the concept of liquid fuels. A solution came about only three years later, when Nocera partnered with Harvard chemists to pioneer a genetically-modified bacterium capable of quickly converting hydrogen into an alcohol-based liquid fuel with the potential for use in gas stations and cars. This development also solves another issue in Nocera’s original artificial leaf design, the lack of potential for storable fuel, through

fossil fuels, there are often many limits to their use as often the technology is still in the early stages of development. The president of Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association, Shantel Lipp, has similar concerns. In a recent interview, she also made it known that many industries do not have access to any alternative fuel sources. She goes on to say that the Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association’s machines, as well as their crushing and asphalt plants, are running solely off diesel and
