In this study, the focus is given to exploring the new trend of green fuels that are newly introduced in the present market. The term has taken a massive leap as it is well acknowledged that non-renewable energy sources are on a pathway of depletion. Moreover, sustainable ways are to be initiated in order to safeguard the exploitation of non-renewable energy sources that occurred over the years. In this study, we will also acknowledge that the introduction of green fuels is a revolutionary step for the coming up of generations. In addition to these, the usage of green fuels determines many positive aspects. The major positive aspect is, with proper use of green fuels the rate of fossil fuel or non-renewable energy resources will decline gradually. Furthermore, it is also noticed that the usage of green fuels will support providing better environmental conditions.
Understanding green fuels
The concept associated with green fuels refers to a well innovative notion that intends to make successive usages of fuels. These green fuels are derived from the elements like green hydrocarbons and are generally produced from sources such as biomass. However, the production process relates to several processes such as biological and as well as thermo chemical. It is quite interesting to know that the products of green fuels are similar to the fuels that cater to diesel fuels, petroleum or gasoline. It is as well noted that green fuels can also be referred to as “compatible fuels” that are fully infrastructural.
What are green fuels?
No such proper definition lies for green fuels but can be perceived as renewable fuels which are actively produced from renewable sources and mainly make use of elements such as green hydrocarbons. These fuels are produced with the help of several processes that include both thermo chemical as well as biological processes and mainly make use of biomass as their source. Several examples are there such as biofuels and fuels of hydrogen. The examples of biofuels cater to several vegetable oils such as methanol, ethanol that are derived from clean energy, biodiesel and carbon dioxide or biomass. Hydrogen energy is mainly derived from renewable energy resources.
What are the types of green fuels?
Various numbers of green fuels are found on earth that can be used instead of non-renewable energy sources thereby, effectively decreasing their usage and exploitation. Some of the types of green fuels are as follows.
- Biomass,
- Geothermal energy,
- Wind power,
- Solar energy,
- Hydro energy,
- Biofuels and many more.
What is bio petrol?
Bio petrol is a term that is generally associated with the types of gasoline produced actively from biomass. Apart from waste material from animals and plants, the biomass contains algae and is more commonly known as bio petrol or biogas line. The composition of bio petrol is just the same as the normal gasoline or petroleum, as it consists of hydrocarbons. With hydrocarbons, there lies 6 to 12 atoms of carbons per molecule and can be successfully used for internal combustion within the internal structures of the engines. Bio petrol is a liquid form of fuel making use of animal fats, oils from vegetables. Furthermore, it is also noticed that biodiesel displays the notion that they are easily biodegradable and non-toxic in nature. These are provided by an effective combination of alcohol with vegetable oils, facts about animals and many more.
How does green fuel work?
It was an interesting aspect to know how green fuel works. Green hydrogen is effectively produced from energy sources that are renewable in nature and also maintains the process of electrolysis by effectively splitting water. This is quite different from gray hydrogen that is produced, which is responsible for greenhouse gasses and blue hydrogen helps in trapping the greenhouse gasses effectively.
How do green fuels affect our daily lives?
Immense effects are noticed in our daily lives with the application of green fuels, which are as follows.
- The usage of green fuels has successively reduced the emission of greenhouse gasses by around 30 per cent of the combustion rate.
- A proper balance is maintained by effectively focusing on fuel sensitivity with respect to the environment.
- Furthermore, it is also noted that the application of green energy is responsible for producing more energy referred to as “energy bounce”.
Conclusion
In concluding the study it is understood that an in-depth exploration has been conducted on green fuels, thereby focusing on the definition and as well as its production procedures. It is also understood that usage of green fuel is highly beneficial as it is eco-friendly in nature and protects the environment from greenhouse gasses. In addition to these, the application for green fuels had successively reduced the usage of non-renewable resources.
