The document discusses alternatives to liquid fuels and considers alcohol fuels to be one of the most realistic options. It notes that alcohol fuels can be derived from biological masses, flex-fuel vehicles are becoming popular, and only a small change to fuel infrastructure would be required. However, it also points out that alcohol fuels still rely on oil for pesticides and farming, could increase food prices and require deforestation. A multifaceted solution coupling alcohol fuels with globalization efforts and sustainable local practices would be needed.

Unit 29 Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Hybrid electric vehicles combine a small gasoline engine with an electric motor and battery to provide improved fuel efficiency over conventional gasoline vehicles. The electric motor handles most driving needs while the gasoline engine kicks in when more power is required, such as accelerating or driving at highway speeds. Regenerative braking and plug-in capabilities on some hybrids further boost efficiency. For example, a 2010 Toyota Prius gets 51 mpg city/48 mpg highway compared to 26/34 mpg for a Honda Civic, saving over $900 in gas per year for 15,000 miles of driving.

Cem 350 have you hugged a hummer today
A study found that the overall energy costs of hybrid vehicles from production to disposal exceed those of comparable non-hybrid vehicles. The study accounted for factors such as manufacturing energy, fuel efficiency, and lifespan. Surprisingly, the energy costs of smaller hybrids such as the Honda Civic were higher than some larger SUVs like the Hummer. While hybrids may reduce local air pollution, they increase energy usage and pollution where they are manufactured abroad. Consumers are increasingly choosing more affordable non-hybrid options that meet their needs, suggesting the hybrid market may continue to decline.

The document discusses low carbon options for reducing emissions in the haulage industry. It notes that the industry currently uses over 10 billion liters of diesel fuel per year, resulting in 26 billion kg of carbon emissions. Natural gas and biomethane are presented as the best low carbon options currently for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) due to their clean burning nature, support from vehicle manufacturers, and limited but growing fuel availability in the UK. The document outlines Howard Tenens' experience so far with natural gas vehicles and calls for government support through parity in fuel duty rates, development of fueling infrastructure, and incentives to help cover the higher vehicle costs and drive broader adoption of natural gas haulage.
Ce 105 12 air pollution iii part
This document discusses various methods of controlling air pollution from mobile and stationary sources. It describes the main types of internal combustion engines used in vehicles and their emissions. It also discusses different cleaner alternative fuels such as biodiesel, ethanol, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and hydrogen that can reduce air pollution. The document concludes by outlining various devices used for controlling particulate and sulfur dioxide emissions from stationary sources.

Realistic alternatives
- 1. Realistic Alternatives to L iquid Fuels
- 4. No easily available unoxidized hydrogen
- 5. CH4 + 2H2O => CO2 + 4H2 ΔH = +59 kcal/mole Steam reformation of natural gas* CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O ΔH = 205 kcal/mole Methane combustion
- 7. Mass transit production largely oil dependent
- 8. Not as flexible on a landmass with scattered urban centers
- 10. Recent interest by Honda Automotive*
- 11. Can be coupled with other fuel-intake systems
- 12. Cons:
- 13. Very expensive mainframe (for individuals and groups)
- 14. Range Inefficiency, range anxiety
- 15. Large production change required, “auto overhaul”
- 17. Flex-Fueled Vehicles (FFVs) becoming very popular with major automotive producers
- 18. Derived from assorted biological masses
- 20. Almost no fuel infrastructure change required
- 22. Ethanol/Methanol: Particulate matter (<gasoline), formaldehyde, nitrous oxides, methane, Carbon oxides Efficiency (est. after production cost)
- 28. Engineered by automotive companies
- 29. Has found wide use in competitive racing
- 31. Less genetic diversity in plants
- 33. Little to no extra farming room (deforestation)
- 34. Potential foreign policy conflict
- 35. Would require an average of a $400-$800 fuel intake and storage upgrade in cars*
