Alternate Fuel Sources for Vehicles Introduction This project investigates alternative fuel source cars, such as Biodiesel, Hydrogen Fuel Cell, Natural Gas, Ethanol (e85), and Hybrid. I choose this topic when I realized how much people are paying for a fuel (gasoline) that only gives you 30% efficiency per gallon. This means that for every $100.00 that you spend on gas, you are wasting $70.00. Purpose My goal is to educate people about current fuel sources, so they can make more educated
and will be the end of us if we don’t stop burning these fuels and reverse the effects immediately. With the use of many different alternative energy forms, we could most definitely achieve this. Through the use of wind turbines, water turbines and e85 to replace gasoline, we can take a huge step to saving our planet. This is why the government should endorse alternative energy and set regulations in order to promote the use of alternative energy. Works Cited 1. Everly,steve.Kansas Companies
E85 has an opposite effect to the environment instead it releases more ozone to the atmosphere compared to traditional fuel even though it 's naturally settled in upper atmosphere the release of more ozone can affect cities by increasing air pollution that
driven on ethanol blended fuels in the United States since 1980. Ethanol can save our future children generations of work by keeping our planet clean and prevent warfare. Today our renewable fuel of the future is ethanol. Many of us know ethanol as E85 or other higher levels of ethanol blends. Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from various plant materials known as biomass. Ethanol is non-toxic and biodegradable. Ethanol is a clear, colorless liquid primarily made from corn,sugar or cellulosic feedstocks
Missing Figures Ethanol Abstract: As of now we drive cars almost everywhere from home to the local store or different states. According to www.wikipedia.com there is “an estimated 243,023,485 registered passenger vehicles in the United States according to a 2004 DOT study!” 1That is a lot of cars. In a year the US alone consumes around 146 billion gallons of gasoline that is a huge amount. 2 According to figure 1 about 86% of all world energy comes from oil, gasoline, and coal; this leaves
extreme amount of pollutants that are harmful to the environment, which is what led to the development and popularity of hybrid vehicles. There are many types of hybrid fuels being developed and used. Three types of fuels will be compared: ethanol 85 (E85), diesel, and hydrogen. There are also human factors that play into the feasibility of manufacturing and marketing of hybrid vehicles in comparison to the existing fleet of standard gasoline powered vehicles. Hybrid electric vehicles have been around

For all experiments,
‘Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle’ are what a person chants if someone mentions the word recycling. Nicks J defines recycling as ‘[T]he processing of waste materials in order to make them reusable” (11). Individuals who recycle are not just throwing papers in green bins, or cans in blue; in fact, they are helping the environment more than they can imagine. People who want to preserve and protect their planet take the initiative to recycle waste materials. Rather than throwing away old plastic or glass
There is little argument that electricity plays a pivotal role in the future of transportation. The electric vehicle is not a new concept. Over 100 years ago Thomas Edison experimented with the electric car, which made use of his newly, developed nickel-iron battery. Edison would charge his electric vehicles at night so he could drive during the day (Roman, 2011). In 1915 Henry Ford and Thomas Edison abandoned development of the electric automobile (Orr, 1967). The project was abandoned because the
There are many companies out there that claim to be “green”. But are they really and how much impact does it have on the environment? Labels such as “organic”, “biodegradable”, “earth-friendly”, vegan and “Fair Trade” are everywhere in today’s market. These labels are marketing tools used to influence consumers. Greenwashing is defined as “The dissemination of misleading information by an organization to conceal its abuse of the environment in order to present a positive public image ” and “superficial
The advertisement emphasizes ways in which Chevrolet is going green through increasing fuel efficiency, producing vehicles that run on E85 Ethanol, and producing hybrid vehicles. Since the campaign was made public, GM’s website, logo, and other mediums of connecting to the public have included very ‘green’ images and sayings that assume its support for the environment. It almost seemed
Both gasoline and ethanol have been around since the time of Henry Ford. Gasoline has been the more accessible of all of them. Ethanol and natural gas have been gaining more support over the years and now gasoline contains ten percent ethanol. Propane is mostly used in fleet vehicles. Cars today can run on gasoline with a little ethanol, but too much ethanol can severely damage a vehicle. Only flex fuel vehicles can handle more than ten percent ethanol in a system. Natural gas vehicles are
as in Indy Racing League cars, or can be blended with gasoline and used as fuel. All cars and trucks on the road today can use gasoline/ethanol blends of up to 9% ethanol (90% gasoline), also called “E9.” Blends of up to 85% ethanol, also known as “E85,” can be used as transportation fuel by cars and trucks with slight modifi-cations (approximately $90 per... ... middle of paper ... ...

Ethanol is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid. Other names that ethanol can also be known as include ethyl alcohol, ethyl hydrate, ethyl hydroxide, fermentation alcohol, methylcarbinol, and grain alcohol. The condensed structural formula for ethanol is C2H5OH, and the expanded structural formula is shown in figure 1. This chemical compound belongs to the alcohol function group therefore characterized by the hydroxyl group –OH combined with a carbon atom. Some characteristics of ethanol include
Cellulosic ethanol costs more to make than gasoline. This is largely because of the expensive enzymes used to separate the sugars. Also, 100% ethanol is not used as an automotive fuel source. The highest allowed [ethanol] is 15%. This is called E85. E85 produces 25% less miles per gallon than gasoline (Nasr,
Strategic Planning: Ford Motor Company Planning is an essential process in today’s organizations. Based on the three types of managers: top-level (strategic managers), middle-level (tactical managers), and frontline (operational managers), exist three corresponding levels of planning: strategic, tactical, and operational. The purpose of this essay is to focus on the strategic level of planning for the Ford Motor Company; a leader in the global automobile industry. Strategic planning, according to
propelled by one of the following fuels: - Natural gas - Liquified natural gas (LNG) - Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) - Hydrogen - Electricity (e.g., some gasoline/electric hybrids) - Any other fuel that is at least 85% alcohol or ether (e.g., E85) (3). On January 9, 2002, U.S. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham announced a new public-private partnership between the Energy Department and the nation's major automakers to promote the development of hydrogen as a primary fuel for cars and trucks
vehicles in model year 2016, and (2) 50% qualified vehicles in model year 2017 and each subsequent year.” (https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/hr2493#summary) A qualified vehicle would be one that operates on natural gas, hydrogen, biofuels, E85, M85 or electric drive vehicles. This would be a giant step in the right direction if this were to be passed into law and it would have a huge impact on all automakers, especially the truck market.
Hydrogen as an alternative fuel Transport exporters are looking for alternative ways to keep human mobility. Gasoline is widely used in motor vehicle. Beside gasoline there is another alternative fuel such as E85, natural gas, compress natural gas, liquid petroleum gas, propane is used as substitute fuel to cut dependence on gasoline. Vehicle makers are putting a billion dollars searching for alternative fuel. Therefore, fuel cells could be a potential candidate for alternative fuel. When considering
