Fossil fuel is a general term for
buried combustible geologic deposits
of organic materials, formed from
decayed plants and animals that have been
converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or
heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure
in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions
of years.
Cheap to transport
Cheapest sources of energy among all
More energy is generated than other
plants
It produces 90% of energy consumption
Available in plenty
1. Environmental Degradation
2. Dangerous to harvest
3. Public Health Issues
4. Oil Spill
5.Rising Cost
 Alternative fuels, known as non-conventional and
advanced fuels, are any materials or substances that
can be used as fuels, other than conventional fuels.
 Some well-known alternative fuels:
 biodiesel
 bioalcohol (methanol, ethanol, butanol)
 refuse-derived fuel
 chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells)
 Grassoline
 non-fossil methane
 non-fossil natural gas
 Algae based fuel, and other biomass sources.
 Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil- or animal
fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-
chain alkyl (methyl, ethyl, or propyl) esters.
Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard
diesel engines and is thus distinct from the
vegetable and waste oils used to
fuel converted diesel engines. Biodiesel can be
used alone, or blended with petrodiesel in any
proportions. Biodiesel blends can also be used
as heating oil.
Bioalcohols can be used as fuels in
several engines (internal combustion
engines and Stirling engines). Bioalcohols
are always produced by the action of
microorganisms and enzymes through the
fermentation of sugars or starches
(easiest), or cellulose (which is more
difficult).
Natural gas is a naturally occurring
hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily
of methane, but commonly including varying
amounts of other higher alkanes.Found in
lots of places.Doesnt pollute water or ground
when it is burned.Natural gas can come
small tanks without pipes.
Biomass is fuel that is developed from
organic materials, a renewable and
sustainable source of energy used to
create electricity or other forms of
power.Better for environment than fossil
fuel.It reduces land fills.It can be used to
create other products (ethanol and fuels).
#1. Conventional fuels are going to run out
#2. To reduce pollution
#3. To protect against global warming
#4. To save money
#5. Can reuse waste
#6. More choices
#7. You’ll be helping the farmers
#8. Can frequently be produced domestically
#9. Fuel economy
#10. More convenience
