Diesel is a major fossil fuel consumed in Nepal, produced between 200-350C and used for power generation and transportation. The presentation aims to identify major diesel consumption areas and suggest alternatives to minimize consumption. Data was collected from various sources including the Nepal Oil Corporation. Diesel is mainly consumed in agriculture, industry, and transportation. Large amounts of capital are spent on imports, which also causes environmental issues. Recommendations include developing hydropower, promoting mass transit and electric vehicles, and investing in biofuels to reduce diesel dependency.
2. Introduction
Diesel is one of the major fossil fuel consumed in Nepal
Produced from fractional distillation of crude oil between
200C and 350C at atmospheric pressure
About 30% of diesel used for power generation
Demand-72000KL per month
3. Objectives
To know the present diesel consumption scenario
To identify the major diesel consumption areas
To suggest measures to minimize the consumption by
providing proper alternatives
4. Methodology
The general methodology of this research is data
collection through various sources like internet, various
books, and journals and so on.
Data collection from Nepal Oil Corporation
5. Areas of Consumption
Mainly its consumption areas are divided into three
sectors
In agriculture sector
In industrial sector and
In transportation sector
