Green fuel

Green fuel, also known as biofuel, is a type of fuel distilled from plants and animal materials, believed by some to be more environmentally friendly than the widely-used fossil fuels that power most of the world. In the desperate search for alternative energy sources, green fuel has evolved as a possible fueling option as the world drains its fossil fuel resources.

3. Excessive usage of fossil fuels have led to the depletion of their reserves and also resulted in the degradation of the environment. This has led the researchers to come up with renewable and eco friendly counterparts . There are several renewable resources present which include green fuels. Green fuels are future generation renewable resources which will be revolutionary in coming days INTRODUCTION

6. Hydrogen UNLIKE fossil fuels, hydrogen is in abundance. In fact, hydrogen makes up 75% of the universe we live in, so there’s no danger of it running out any time soon! The Hyundai ix35 was the world’s first production hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV), with energy created using the process of passing hydrogen through a fuel cell.

7. Electricity MORE and more cars are heading down electric avenue. However, there’s still a long way to go before we can consider electric vehicles (EV) to be truly mainstream.

8. Biodiesel Liquefied petroleum gas Ethanol ETHANOL is an alternative to petrol and can be combined with regular unleaded fuel in any concentration, up to 100% pure ethanol. In the UK, ethanol accounts for up to 5% of the fuel you’ll buy from a petrol station, but there are plans to increase this to 10%.

9. What is Algae? „Simple plant „Most live in water „Photosynthetic ‡Capture light energy Convert inorganic to organic matter

10. What is Algae? „„ Use lipids and oils to help float in water „Range from small, single-celled species to complex multicellular species, such as the giant kelps

11. WHY ALGAE FUEL?

12. Production of algae fuel There are two major processes to manufacture biodiesel from algae ALGAE DRY ALGAE TRIGLYCERI DES HEXANE METHANOL TRANSESTERIFICATION BIO-DIESEL DEHYDRATION

14. ADVANTAGES Renewable Eco-friendly Fixes carbon Omnipresent Solves 3 major social problems Power necessity Checks global warming Disposal of organic wastes.

15. ADVANTAGES

16. Biodiesel From Plants Rapeseed oil(canola), jatropha, sugar molasses and soybean oil.

17. Plastic Fuels O 2 free chamber Exhaust gases for purification H E A T WASTE PLASTIC RECYCLE OR SLUDGE

18. Conclusion These alternative sources of energy, if adopted helps in decreasing the environmental pollutants emitted by fossil fuels and chemical industries. On the other hand some techniques of green fuels utilize the pollutants and produces biofuels. This way already existing pollution is decreased and the new products are eco-friendly and cause no harm to the environment. Thus with green fuel technologies it’s always a win-win situation.
