Fuels for Sustainable Transportation

Advances, and Applications

About this book

The text provides a holistic view to reduce the use of fossil fuels and move toward sustainable future transportation fuels such as biodiesel, ethanol, and hydrogen. It explores the compatibility of biodiesel with vehicles and its utilization across various transport modes. The text further analyzes the performance metrics, efficiency, and environmental impact compared to conventional diesel.

This book:

  • Provides an overview of alternative fuel sources and offers a comprehensive analysis of biodiesel, ethanol, and hydrogen fuel.
  • Investigates practical applications via extensive case studies, which provide insights into how alternate fuels are being used in transportation.
  • Examines global policies, political efforts, and economic frameworks to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory framework.
  • Covers proton exchange membrane fuel cell, escalating methanization in conventional biogas units, diesel engine performance enhancement through nano-additives, circular economy, and e-waste management.
  • Presents an in-depth analysis of the energy output of ethanol, its impact on vehicle performance metrics, and emissions reduction.

This book is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of mechanical, energy, environmental, manufacturing, industrial and production, and automotive engineering.
